Step back into the late Middle Ages with this hauntingly beautiful print of Imago Mortis, the legendary "Dance of Death." Originally published in the 1493 Nuremberg Chronicle, this iconic woodcut was created by the masters Michel Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff in the very workshop where a young Albrecht Dürer apprenticed.
The illustration depicts five skeletal figures rising from their graves to engage in a macabre, joyful dance. A powerful example of the Memento Mori ("Remember you must die") tradition, this piece served as a stark medieval reminder that death is the great equalizer, claiming everyone regardless of status or wealth.
With its bold, Gothic linework and eerie energy, this print is a must-have for fans of dark academia, medieval history, and macabre art. It makes a sophisticated statement in a study, library, or gallery wall.
Printed with giclée processes to keep colors vivid over time, this rolled print arrives ready to be mounted or framed by someone who loves traditional Japanese kachō-e and wants that serene, nature-focused energy in their space.
Product features:
- Textured archival
- Giclée printing for bright, fade-resistant colour
