"The Dance of Death, Embodied in Elegant Woodcuts, with a Dissertation on the Various Representations of the Subject, but Particularly on Those Attributed to the Macabre and Hans Holbein," is a book that preserves and transmits age-old symbolic images of the dance between life and death. The author Du Duc reveals and explains the meaning and history of the symbolism embodied in the engravings, which help to understand the deep meaning of life, its origins and transience. Each page of the book is an invitation to feel and unravel the secrets hidden in the work of art.
