EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Abbess Dance Death 1651 Etching second state" from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection transports us back to the year 1651. The image is a reproduction of an etching, originally created by German artist Hans Holbein the Younger in Augsburg, Germany during the Renaissance period. The scene depicted in this print takes place within a convent, where death himself appears to be leading a macabre dance. On the left side of the sheet, we witness an abbess who is caught up in this haunting spectacle. Her arms are thrown up in alarm as she watches death drag away one of her fellow nuns. The composition and intricate details captured in this artwork are truly mesmerizing. The delicate lines and shading characteristic of etchings bring depth and texture to each element portrayed on the sheet measuring approximately 2 15/16 x 3 16/75 x 55 cm. Through this powerful imagery, Holbein reminds us of our mortality and serves as a reminder that death is an inevitable part of life. This particular piece evokes strong emotions with its juxtaposition of beauty and darkness. Artokoloro's reproduction allows art enthusiasts today to appreciate Holbein's genius while contemplating themes such as mortality, spirituality, and human vulnerability. It serves as a testament to how art can transcend time and continue to resonate with audiences centuries later.
