“The Kiss of Death”: The Magnificent Sculpture Celebrating the Afterlife

Nestled into an 18th-century cemetery in Barcelona, “The Kiss of Death” is a haunting
sculpture used to commemorate one man's grave. The piece is located in the city's Poblenou
Cemetery and is one of its most iconic tombs. The marble statue is not only impressive for the
fine carving, ______ for the tender way in which it embraces death. It is a fine example of
modern memento mori art, which translates to “remember that you will die”. Rather than viewing
death as something to be feared, memento mori embraces the immortality of the soul and the
afterlife.
The Kiss of Death fits the concept perfectly – death is in the guise of a winged skeleton
that gently holds on to a dying man and lays a kiss on his cheek. This moving idea follows a long
tradition of classical sculpture, even though the sculpture itself is from the 20th century. The
piece was created __ 1930 __ the tomb __ Josep Laudet Soler. Though his exact birthdate is
unknown, it is believed that Soler died __ a young age, which prompted his family to commission
the statue. It surely would have brought comfort to the family to imagine that Soler embraced,
rather than feared, his death and that he passed in a peaceful manner.
Heralded for the masterful display of texture, it is believed to have been created by Jaume
Barba, whose name is carved into the base, though some attribute the design to Joan Fontbernat.
The hard bones of the skeleton stand in juxtaposition to the young man's toned body, and its
bony fingers sink into the man's soft flesh in a manner that reminds viewers of the human body's
circle of life. The emotion it stirs is one of the many reasons that the sculpture has continued to
attract visitors for nearly 100 years. Pobleneou Cemetery is worthwhile visiting: its monumental
graves harken back to a time when Barcelona's bourgeoisie went to great lengths to celebrate
their loved ones. And recently, the city has taken steps to keep the site on the minds of travelers
thanks to a cemetery route and an Android app that explains some of Poblenou's greatest tombs
– including The Kiss of Death.
