EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Death Coat Arms Dance 1651" takes us back to the year of its creation, where etching techniques were used to bring this artwork to life. The second state of this print showcases the meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into its making. The sheet measures 2 by 3 feet and features a noble couple engaged in a steady dance. Their shielded heads are surmounted by a majestic helm, while their mantles proudly display their family crest. However, what catches our eye is the presence of death itself in this scene. Two skeletal arms emerge from beneath the couple's coats, holding up a piece of skull aloft as if it were an hourglass counting down their mortal existence. This haunting yet thought-provoking imagery reminds us all of our mortality and serves as a reminder that even nobility cannot escape death's grasp. This print is inspired by Hans Holbein the Younger's original work from Augsburg, Germany during his time in London. It beautifully captures his signature style and brings forth an air of mystery and contemplation. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are transported back in time to witness both beauty and darkness intertwine on one single canvas.
