The Dance of Death
Le prix d'expédition sera calculé au moment du paiement. Taxes incluses
Death interrupts everyone in Holbein’s woodcuts: rulers and labourers, the powerful and the apparently secure. These small images turn a medieval theme into a sharp examination of pride, wealth and human vulnerability, combining frightening encounters with a remarkable sense of theatrical timing.
This Penguin Classics edition reproduces a complete set held by the British Museum, with enlarged details and related examples that help readers examine the sequence. Ulinka Rublack’s introduction explains the world in which the images were made and the longer tradition of the danse macabre. The result is both an art book and a compact historical encounter with mortality. It is an especially direct choice for readers interested in memento mori, macabre illustration and the graphic imagination of the sixteenth century.
