Auch ein Todtentanz II, or 'Also a Dance of Death' by Alfred Rethel, is an evocative and thought-provoking wood engraving from the 19th century. This allegorical work, created by the German artist in 1849, depicts a scene of death and rebellion, with skeletal figures carrying their human prey on their shoulders. The animals in the background, including horses and a sickle-wielding reaper, add to the sense of impending doom and the cyclical nature of life and death. Rethel was a prominent member of the artistic school known as the Nazi-naive, which emerged during the Revolution of 1848 in Germany. His work often featured social and political commentary, and this print is no exception. The title "Auch ein Todtentanz" (Another Dance of Death) references the medieval allegory of the Danse Macabre, which depicted the universality of death by showing the Grim Reaper leading a procession of figures from all walks of life. This wood engraving is a powerful reminder of the historical significance of the Revolution of 1848 and the upheaval it brought about in Europe. The black and white contrast of the print adds to its dramatic effect, making it a striking addition to any art collection or gallery exhibition. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is one such institution where this print can be found, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the arts and the concept of the Dance of Death that continues to resonate with audiences today.
