EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Death comes for the Queen" transports us back to the medieval era, where mortality and the macabre were often depicted in art. Engraved by Georg Scharffenberg from Der Todten Tanz, published in Basel in 1843, this piece is a hauntingly beautiful representation of Hans Holbein the Younger's original work. In this scene, we witness Death personified as a skeleton, accompanied by an hourglass symbolizing time running out. The grim reaper approaches a terrified queen who flees with her courtiers. The jester adds an eerie touch to the composition, reminding us that death spares no one – not even those who entertain. The woodcut technique used here gives depth and texture to every detail: from the intricate patterns on their garments to the delicate crown adorning the queen's head. It is through these meticulous engravings that we can appreciate both Holbein's artistic brilliance and Scharffenberg's skillful interpretation. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of our own mortality and how fleeting life truly is. The Dance of Death theme prevalent throughout history serves as a reminder that death is inevitable for all humanity regardless of status or wealth. This print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions of horror and fascination within us. It stands as a testament to Northern Renaissance artistry while simultaneously serving as a memento mori – urging us to reflect on our own existence
