Artwork Title: The Funeral of a Viking

The Funeral of a Viking, 1893

Frank Dicksee

Dicksee painted The Funeral of a Viking (1893; Manchester Art Gallery), which was donated in 1928 by Arthur Burton in memory of his mother to the Corporation of Manchester. Victorian critics gave it both positive and negative reviews, for its perfection as a showpiece and for its dramatic and somewhat staged setting, respectively. The painting was used by Swedish Viking/Black metal band Bathory for the cover of their 1990 album, Hammerheart. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Dicksee)
