Filfla and the isle of the dead

Abstract

Many artists are inspired by great masters and manage to reinterpret their works in their own style or manner. In recent years, Maltese artists have followed suit. Recently, exhibitions dedicated to the reinterpretation of Mattia Preti and Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio were held, while other artists worked on a project entitled Filfla and Toteninsel based on Swiss-German artist Arnold Böcklin’s famous work, The Isle of the Dead.
