PERMANENTLY ASLEEP - WILL SHE BE "LATE"? - SHE IS LATE! - SHE IS DEAD!
"Venetia Stanley, Lady Digby, on her Death-bed" (see details), 1633 Anthony van Dyke (1599-1641) Dulwitch Picture Gallery, Dulwitch, England
"Asleep in the arms of Thanatos"
Mr. Digby was shocked by the death of his wife in her sleep. He intended the painting as a memorial and wrote
" ... when I goe to my bedside ...
me thinkes I see her dead indeed ...
van Dyck hath altered or added nothing about it,
exepting only a rose lying upon the heeme of the sheet ...".
