''The Isle of the Dead'' (German: ''Die Toteninsel'') is the best-known painting by Swiss Symbolist artist Arnold Böcklin (1827–1901). Created between 1880 and 1886, Böcklin produced several different versions of the haunting scene, which depicts an oarsman and a white-shrouded figure transporting a coffin to a small island. The island itself is replete with dense cypress trees and rocky cliffs, evoking a sense of solemnity and eternal rest.

The first version of this iconic work was completed in 1880 after a commission by Marie Berna, the widow of a deceased German merchant. The painting struck a chord in the cultural zeitgeist of the time, leading to its immense popularity and the creation of subsequent versions. In total, Böcklin painted five versions of ''The Isle of the Dead'', with slight variations among them, such as the presence of different numbers of cypress trees and variations in lighting and mood.

Böcklin's ''The Isle of the Dead'' is often interpreted as a meditation on death and the afterlife, reflecting the Symbolist movement's fascination with themes of mortality, the supernatural, and the transcendental. The painting's evocative imagery has inspired a wide range of cultural references and homages, from music to literature and film, cementing its status as a seminal work of Symbolist art.

The various versions of the painting are housed in different museums, including the Kunstmuseum Basel, the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Museum der bildenden Künste in Leipzig. ''The Isle of the Dead'' continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and public fascination, with its enigmatic atmosphere and rich symbolism offering endless interpretations.
