Danse Macabre, 1532

Woodcut entitled: "Dance of death taken from Von der Artzney bayder Gluck, des guten und wederwertigen, 1532." A man and a woman are standing next to each other, the woman appears to be pregnant, and a young child is looking under her apron; Death has entered from the right carrying a scythe, and on the left, Death is holding the woman's dress. Dance of Death, also called Danse Macabre (French), Danza Macabra (Italian), Dansul Mortii (Romanian), Danza de la Muerte (Spanish), Dansa de la Mort (Catalan), Danca Macabra (Portuguese language), Totentanz (German), Dodendans (Dutch), Surmatants (Estonian), is an artistic genre of late medieval allegory on the universality of death: no matter one's station in life, the Dance of Death unites all.
