"Cupid, Death and Beyond" (German: "Amor, Tod und Jenseits") is an 1879 etching by the German symbolist artist Max Klinger. This work is part of Klinger's broader exploration of themes surrounding love, death, and the afterlife, which he frequently addressed in his graphic cycles and paintings. The etching is notable for its intricate detail and its blending of classical mythology with personal symbolism, a characteristic of Klinger's approach to art.

The piece depicts a dramatic encounter between the figures of Cupid, the Roman god of love, and Death, personified in a skeletal form. The interaction between these two figures is central to the narrative of the artwork, suggesting a philosophical commentary on the relationship between love and mortality. The "beyond" in the title hints at a transcendental dimension, possibly alluding to the afterlife or the eternal nature of love beyond the confines of death.

Klinger's work is often associated with the Symbolist movement, which sought to express the ineffable and the emotional through evocative imagery rather than direct representation. "Cupid, Death and Beyond" exemplifies this approach, as it invites multiple interpretations and emotional responses from the viewer. The etching is part of Klinger's broader oeuvre, which includes a series of prints and cycles such as "A Glove" (1881) and "Paraphrases about the Finding of a Glove" (1881), where he similarly explores complex psychological and metaphysical themes.

As with many of Klinger's works, "Cupid, Death and Beyond" reflects the artist's fascination with the subconscious and the dreamlike, drawing on both personal experience and universal archetypes. The artwork is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its capacity to engage with profound existential questions through the medium of printmaking.

Max Klinger (1857–1920) was a versatile artist whose body of work includes painting, sculpture, and printmaking. He was influential in the development of both Symbolism and Expressionism, and his works are considered precursors to the later surrealist movement. "Cupid, Death and Beyond" remains an important piece within Klinger's artistic legacy, encapsulating the depth and complexity of his vision.
