Eye, circa 1946. Illustration by M.C. Escher.

In this striking mezzotint, Escher presents an intensely magnified human eye, within whose pupil appears the reflected image of a skull. The work brings vision and mortality into unsettling proximity, transforming an intimate study of the eye into a quiet meditation on death.

The Castaway. Painted by Ambroise Louis Garneray (1783–1857).

The Castaway presents a haunting image of a lone man, utterly isolated and overwhelmed by the vast, unforgiving sea. Tossed among towering waves, he raises one arm desperately toward the heavens, as though calling out to God in a final plea for salvation. Garneray transforms the shipwreck into a deeply moving vision of loneliness, helplessness and the fragile nature of human life.

Makovsky surrounds the pair with deep shadow and supernatural light, capturing the poem’s themes of forbidden love, temptation, death and the struggle between the earthly and the divine.
