For ages there has been a close connection between Eros & Thanatos, between love & death.

Photographer Isolde Ohlbaum illustrates this theme with her haunting pictures of graveyard sculptures.

The picture above (taken in Genua) can be found in her book Denn alle Lust will Ewigkeit; erotische Skulpturen auf europäischen Friedhöfen (München, 1996).
