The Abbess and the Dance of Death, 17th-century illustration. Death drags an Abbess from her convent, while at left a nun throws her arms up in alarm. This 1651 artwork is by Wenceslaus Hollar, after Hans Holbein the Younger. The Latin phrase 'Laudaui magis mortuos quam viuentes' is a biblical quote from Ecclesiastes 4 ('I praised the dead more than the living'). | |
