EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the haunting engraving titled "Doctor Death" by an anonymous French School artist from the 19th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for Paul Lacroix's book "Science and Literature in the Middle Ages" published by Bickers in 1878. The image has been digitally cleaned to reveal its intricate details and delicate lines. It depicts Doctor Death, a prominent figure in medieval times associated with mortality and decay. This macabre representation is reminiscent of the artistic style prevalent during the Renaissance period. The composition is executed on a small scale, resembling a miniature found within a Book of Hours—a popular devotional text during that era. The skillful craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every stroke of this engraving. Attributed to M Ambroise Firmin-Didot from Paris, this piece transports us back to the 16th century—an age characterized by both progress and aging. Its inclusion in various historical references further emphasizes its significance as an emblematic representation of that time. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable print from their Fine Art Finder collection, allowing art enthusiasts to appreciate the beauty and symbolism captured within this intriguing artwork without mentioning any commercial use or affiliation with specific companies.
