Et in Arcadia Ego


Guercino, Et in Arcadia Ego (c. 1622) 

Nicolas Poussin, Et in Arcadia Ego (1627) 

Nicolas Poussin, Et in Arcadia Ego (c. 1638) 

Johann Georg Schütz, Et in Arcadia Ego (1788) 

"Even in Arcadia, there am I." 

A theme both serene and haunting, as shepherds in a pastoral setting ponder the presence of death.
