DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Dance Macabre is an epic poem which deals in one respect with the universality of death. Irrespective of one’s class in life, the dance of death unites all. The poem may be linked to a tradition found in many cultures: for Danse Macabre (French), Danza Macabra (Italian and Spanish), or Totentanz (German), were late-medieval allegories which invariably represented a personified Death leading a row of dancing figures to the grave; typically with an emperor, king,youngster, and beautiful girl in the entourage. The intention of such tales and images remind people of how fragile their lives are, and how vain are the glories of earthly life. Its origins derive from illustrated sermon texts; the earliest artistic examples being similar to the one depicted onthe cover, which is adapted from an image found in a cemetery in Paris circa 1424.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Dance of Death Danse Macabre Hans Holbein With an introductory note by Austin Dobson Dance of Death, also called Danse Macabre, 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. The Danse Macabre consists of the dead or personified Death summoning representatives from all walks of life to dance along to the grave, typically with a pope, emperor, king, child, and labourer. They were produced as mementos mori, to remind people of the fragility of their lives and how vain were the glories of earthly life. Its origins are postulated from illustrated sermon texts; the earliest recorded visual scheme was a now-lost mural in the Saints Innocents Cemetery in Paris dating from 1424 to 1425.
