Publisher's Synopsis
La danse macabre, ou danse des morts, est un thème iconographique qui a inspiré de nombreux artistes depuis le Moyen Âge. Dans ce livre, Matthäus Merian, un graveur suisse du XVIIe siècle, présente une série de planches illustrant la danse des morts telle qu'elle était représentée à Bâle. Les images sont accompagnées de textes en latin et en allemand qui exposent les valeurs et les enseignements que l'on peut tirer de cette danse grotesque et fascinante.
