Art Twistory: Cemetery Art and Architecture

The art and architecture styles in any cemetery can visually describe its culture in various aspects. The shapes, inscriptions, and images indicate a society’s general outlook on death, its prevailing religions or secularization, gender roles, and other social stratification such as race and ethnicity. This historical pictorial presentation looks at how funerary art and architecture evince the values and trends of cemetery occupants and their contemporaneous society, from ancient faraway burials to modern local customs.
