Danse Macabre: Death in Print from Durer to Dix

Prints of the dance of death, from Renaissance woodcuts and engravings to the German artists who turned it on the First World War.

The danse macabre, in which lively skeletons remind the living how short life is, spread through woodcut illustrations from the 14th century and was taken up by printmakers across Europe. By the time of World War I, German Expressionist artists used its skulls, hourglasses and figures of Death to address war, revolution and industrialization.
