In the Victorian era there was a paroxysm of the cult of death. In that desire to dominate and contain the arbitrariness of it, art played an important role. In the Victorian aesthetic universe and more especially the pre-Raphaelite, one of the positions when it comes to representing death consisted in the poetization and idealization of the female corpse, specifically with a fetishistic nature. This was carried out through different narrative modes: aquatic death and sleeping death.
