Aesthetics of grief
Wilhelm Kotarbiński (1848 – 1921) "Angel of Sadness", "The Grave of a Suicide"
Mikhail Nesterov (1862-1942) "Myrrh-bearing Women"
Pavel Ryzhenko (1970-2014) "Sergiy"/ Sergey Andiyaka (1958-2024) "New Year's Night"
Giuseppe Benetti (1825-1914) "Piaggio Tomb" / an epitaph on a tombstone / William Story (1819 - 1895) "The Weeping Angel"
an epitaph on a tombstone / a tombstone of Alfred Schnittke, a composer. The symbol 𝄐, fermata, means "to stop, to hold till the sound disappears", the long thick line in the music staff, semibreve, means "whole rest" and fff, forte fortissimo, means "super loud". So, since the creator of the music is no longer there, there is only an everlasting, deafeningly loud silence.
Horace Vernet (1789 - 1863) "Angel of Death"
