Danse Macabre

View through Europeana Collections
The Danse Macabre in Tallinn is nearly seven and a half metres long and forms the beginning of a monumental twenty-metre work that has been attributed to the renowned Lübeckian master Bernt Notke (c. 1440–1509). The painting depicting the dance of Death and mortals is unique in terms of both its iconography and subject matter; it is also the only preserved medieval Danse Macabre that has been painted on canvas.
