EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic artwork titled "Gamesters Dance Death 1651 Etching second state" by Artokoloro. Inspired by the original piece created by Hans Holbein the Younger, a renowned German artist from Augsburg who later settled in London, this print beautifully captures the essence of his work. In this intriguing scene, three men are engrossed in a high-stakes card game around a table. The player on the right gathers his winnings with an air of triumph, while the player on the left puts his hand on a dagger ominously placed nearby. However, at the center of it all, an unexpected twist unfolds as they are seized by none other than Death himself. The devilish figure seizes their attention and reminds them that regardless of their earthly pursuits and desires for wealth or power, death is inevitable and ever-present. This haunting reminder serves as a powerful allegory for life's transience and our mortality. With its intricate details and masterful etching technique, this second state sheet measuring 2 15/16 x 3 16/74 x 55 cm truly brings Holbein's vision to life. It is undoubtedly a remarkable addition to any art enthusiast's collection.
