The Dance of Death
Autor Hans Holbein Editat de Ulinka Rublacken Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 oct 2016
One of Hans Holbein's first great triumphs, The Dance of Death is an incomparable sequence of tiny woodcuts showing the folly of human greed and pride. Each image is packed with drama, wit, and horror, as a skeleton mocks and terrifies everyone from the emperor to a ploughman. Taking full advantage of the new literary culture of the early sixteenth century, The Dance of Death took an old medieval theme and made it new.
This edition reproduces a complete set from the British Museum, with many details highlighted and examples of other works in this grisly field included. Ulinka Rublack introduces the woodcuts with a remarkable essay on the late medieval Danse Macabre (the Dance of Death) and the world Holbein lived in.

Notă biografică
Hans
Holbein
(Author)
Hans Holbein the Younger (1497-1543) was a Swiss and German artist renowned for his portraiture. As a young artist Holbein worked in Basel where he produced one of his well-known works The Dance of Death, a series of 41 wood cuttings on the medieval concept of the danse macabre. In 1526 Holbein travelled to England on Erasmus's recommendation and there he executed some of his most impressive works, such as his portrait of Sir Thomas More. He returned to England in 1532 at a time of political and religious turmoil under Henry VIII's reign and found favour with the Boleyn family and Thomas Cromwell, becoming the King's Painter in 1536. He died in London in 1543.

Recenzii
The
underlying
message
of
the
series
is,
of
course,
that
Death
comes
for
us
all,
and
if
it
interrupts
the
recreations
of
the
wealthy
rather
more
insolently
than
those
of
the
poor,
then
let
that
be
a
lesson
to
us...
Rublack's
commentary
is
useful
and
illuminating,
pointing
out
details,
providing
information
about
the
time
Holbein
lived
in,
and
even
making
a
plausible
case
for
her
own
views
on
Holbein's
position
on
the
reformation.
