I am also in Arcadia

the most famous phrase appears as the title of two paintings by Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665)

It could be "even" instead of "also".

Hi Menininha

Why "even"?

I edited it...

But in wikipedia was:
"The phrase is a memento mori, which is usually interpreted to mean "I am also in Arcadia" or "I am even in Arcadia", as if spoken by personified Death."

Thanks Kafetzou.

So... pirulito,

"And I [= death] too (am) in Arcadia" or as "I [= the person in the tomb] also used to live in Arcadia."

I am also in Arcade.
I am in Arcade too.

It's better, isn't it? Gracias!
