EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures a moment of chaos and despair as Death interrupts the peaceful journey of The ro-ro, carrying three barrels of wine. In this hand-coloured engraving by Christian Von Mechel, based on original drawings by Hans Holbein the Young, we see Death wielding a wheel from the cart while another Death attempts to open one of the barrels. The scene is filled with tension and fear as a horse collapses on the ground and the carter raises his arms in terror. The contrast between life and death is starkly portrayed in this dramatic composition. The intricate details and expressive gestures in this print draw viewers into a world where mortality looms large over all living beings. The symbolism of wine, often associated with celebration and joy, being interrupted by Death adds an extra layer of depth to this powerful image. As we contemplate the inevitability of our own mortality, this artwork serves as a reminder to cherish every moment we have on Earth. The Triumph of Death depicted in this print is both chilling and thought-provoking, inviting us to reflect on the fragility of life itself.
