拍品專文

The phrase "Fatal Bellman" originates from Shakespeare's "Macbeth" (Act II, Scene 2). In the play, Lady Macbeth refers to the owl as the "fatal bellman," describing it as an omen of death. During the Middle Ages and Renaissance, the hooting of an owl was often associated with impending death, much like a bellman who traditionally rang a bell to signify the announcement of someone’s passing.
