Johann Elias Ridinger - Danse Macabre (Mid-18th century)

A German broadside of the Danse Macabre. Nine women of different social rank from empress to fool dance with the dead around two skeletons in a coffin. The entire economy of salvation is depicted, from the Fall, through the crucifixion, to Heaven and Hell. Twelve more traditional Dance Macabre figures surround the central image, wearing clothes that suggest a 16th-century model.
