Gothic Death Macabre Tapestries

The hanging man

The Danse Macabre (from the French language), also called the Dance of Death, is an artistic genre of allegory of the Late Middle Ages on the universality of death: no matter one's station in life, the Dance Macabre unites all. The Danse Macabre consists of the dead or a personification of death summoning representatives from all walks of life to dance along to the grave, typically with a pope, emperor, king, child, and laborer. It was produced as memento mori, to remind people of the fragility of their lives and how vain were the glories of earthly life.[1] Its origins are postulated from illustrated sermon texts; the earliest recorded visual scheme was a now-lost mural at Holy Innocents' Cemetery in Paris dating from 1424 to 1425.

This design is based on a beautiful painting by William-Adolphe Bouguereau. I really love that Shepherdess painting and wanted to do a homage in my style. Making the shepherdess a grim reaper figure tells a whole different story than the original… Makes it more sinister and macabre. I love the sheep and the innocence of the lamb and how weirdly peaceful the sheep looks while Death is taking away the lamb. I have to thank Bouguereau for painting such a wonderful communication between the figures, he truly was a great master.

Death (XIII) is the thirteenth trump or Major Arcana card in most traditional Tarot decks. It is used in Tarot, tarock and tarocchi games as well as in divination. I’ve done this design in my own style but kept some of the elements from the Waite-Smith tarot deck.

This is a rather colorful reminder that death does not discriminate. As we waste our lives on hatred and violence, we forget we all march to the same destiny.

Remember that you must die: Remember that you must live. All things are transformed in time.

Well, I felt like doing a funny, punny design. Did you notice that this pear reeds as despair? Well, when I thought of that, I decided to put my knowledge to good use: by sharing it with the world in a super creepy, almost horror way! I love to ad humor to grim and horror imagery. Mr. Death here is very happy to have huge pear with a maggot in it! He almost looks like he's in love with it!
