Karl Georg Arsenius

While poking around in a very small local cemetery the other day, I took this picture of an artist's tomb because I liked the way the bas relief bust and pallet had weathered. It didn't occur to me until tonight to check the name on the internet to see if he was known anywhere beyond the cemetery in question... turns out that Karl Georg Arsenius (1855 - 1908, 53 years old, same age as Frank Zappa and Jerry Garcia, if I'm not mistaken) is indeed on the web, with images of some of his work ; which I hope no one will mind if I show here, he died over a hundred years ago. Love the lichens and the green copper stains on the stone. May he rest in peace...
