Collection: The Old Man
 |
"The Old Man" is part of the Dance Of Death woodcuts (1523–26) by Hans Holbein the Younger.The Dance of Death refashions the late-medieval allegory of the Danse Macabre in a Renaissance Reformist satire. Holbein's woodcuts show the figure of Death in many disguises confronting individuals from all walks of life. No one escapes Death's skeleton clutches; not the innocent, the righteous, the rich, or the pious. |
