Over My Dead Body (Casas)

Over My Dead Body, 1893, is a painting by Ramon Casas, in the National Art Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona.

At the beginning of the 1890s, Ramon Casas began painting interior scenes with a female figure always present.

Over My Dead Body, one of the first of the series, Casas paints a young woman standing between two doorways .

[1] The complexity of the open doors at the far end of the room contribute a mysterious quality to the painting, allowing the viewer to question where this young woman really is.

But Miguel Utrillo changed the title of the painting back to "Over My Dead Body" after a solo exhibition at the Sala Pares in May 1900.
