'The Island of the Dead' ('Die Toteninsel') from the Swiss symbolist painter Arnold Böcklin (1827-1901) was Führer's favorite painting. The artist painted five versions of it around 1880. Appearently, the painting was also liked by Freud (who posessed numerous reproductions of it) and Lenin (who kept a copy in his bedroom). There is a reference to it in a Strindberg play (Ghost Sonata) and the title reappears in a symphonic poem by the Russian composer Rachmaninoff from 1909.
Hitler bought the painting at an auction in 1936 and kept it in his office until his death in 1945. The painting then 'dissapeared' from Berlin after the fall of the Third Reich, only to recently reappear in Leipzig, Germany, where it can be admired at the Museum der bildenden Künste.
The voyage of the dead souls over a body of water to their final resting place is a recurrent theme in Aryan mythologies. The Greek myth of Charon (fierce brightness), the ferryman of Hades (the god of underworld) is believed to have inspired the painting. Charon took the newly dead from one side of the river Acheron ("river of woe") to the other if they could pay for the ride (the dead in ancient Greece were always buried with a coin underneath their tongue to pay Charon).
Adolf Hitler was an excellent painter himself and an extremely cultured person with impeccable aestethic instincts. His favorite painting will always remind me of a Valhalla for the fallen NS comerades of WWII.
