Well, there's a painting by Poussin called _Et in Arcadia ego_ that shows
two rather studly neoclassical-looking chaps gazing at a tombstone.
Obviously, as you probably already know, an allegory of the omnipresence
of death.  I used to have a book with that painting in it, but alas it is
not to be found.
 
Hope that helps, or at least verifies what you already probably know.
 
Cheers to all and sundry,
Michael Kicey
