Medieval Art Coloring Book – The Dance of Death and Life in the Middle Ages: Adult Greyscale Coloring Book – Ideal for Advanced Colouring with … Size (8.5″x11″) (Medieval Colouring Books)

The perfect gift for anyone who wants to create unique art! This colouring book features intricate 16th Century woodcut prints from the artist Hans Holbein the Younger (1497-1543) for his series The Danse Macabre (The Dance of Death). The Danse Macabre is a portrayal on the universality of death that unites all levels of society. The images start with scenes of Adam and Eve being expelled from the Garden of Eden and move onto scenes in which various victims meet Death. Holbein’s images are seen as a contemporaneous rise of Protestantism during the 16th-century Reformation where followers began to reject Roman Catholic doctrines, indulgence, and excess. These 41 technical marvels were cut in small (65x50mm) blocks of wood by the virtuoso Hans Lutzelburger and considered a monumental achievement. They are full of mischief and will inspire your creative juices.
