EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bridal pair Dance Death 1651 Etching second state" takes us back in time to the richly attired bride and groom, as they engage in a dance with an unexpected partner. The image is based on an original etching by Hans Holbein the Younger, a renowned German artist from Augsburg who later settled in London. In this scene, the center of attention is undoubtedly the bridegroom, confidently leading his beautiful bride through their wedding dance. However, what sets this artwork apart is the presence of Death itself. Grim and foreboding, Death beats a drum while accompanying them on their joyous occasion. The composition skillfully captures the contrast between life's fleeting moments of happiness and its inevitable end. It serves as a reminder that even during our most joyful celebrations, mortality looms over us all. This juxtaposition creates an eerie yet thought-provoking atmosphere within the piece. Measuring approximately 2 7/8 x 1/8 inches (73 x 54 cm), this print showcases Artokoloro's dedication to preserving historical artworks for contemporary audiences to appreciate. Whether displayed in homes or art galleries worldwide, it invites viewers to reflect upon themes of love and mortality that transcend time.
