In times of uncertainty and calamity, the danse macabre, or dance of death, has resurrected in art again and again over the past centuries. It dates back to the 15th century in Europe, with images of people dancing with skeletons or cadavers draped with fetid flesh depicted in murals and woodcuts. This talk will focus on how the dance of death has been reinterpreted by artists, particularly printmakers who dispersed it across the globe, drawing on arts writer Allison C. Meier's extensive research into the subject.
