EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white woodcut print, titled "Death Comes To The Bishop" we are transported to a macabre scene filled with symbolism and foreboding. Created by Georg Scharffenberg after the renowned Hans Holbein the Younger, this illustration is part of the iconic series called "Der Todten Tanz" or "The Dance of Death". Set against a vertical composition, Death arrives in all its inevitable finality at the doorstep of a bishop. With his skeletal figure draped in flowing robes, Death's presence is both haunting and mesmerizing. The intricate details in this woodcut showcase the artist's skillful rendering of mortality. As we gaze upon this apocalyptic tableau from 1843 Basel, Switzerland, we cannot help but contemplate our own fate and destiny. The dance between life and death unfolds before us as Death takes hold of yet another soul. It serves as a stark reminder that no one can escape their ultimate end. Ken Welsh's masterful capture of this historic woodcut print allows us to delve into the depths of human existence and confront our own mortality head-on. Through its powerful imagery, it invites introspection about life's transience while reminding us to cherish each moment. This thought-provoking artwork transcends time and continues to resonate with audiences today. Its enduring message serves as an eternal memento mori – a reminder that death comes for us all eventually.
