Excerpt from The Dance of Death: In Painting and in Print
The same writer indeed says that Death is sudden, but beautiful; yet only, it seems, when he snatches us at our work. Everywhere we find Death considered a monster, that, like Assanus Sassa the Turk, takes our old clothes from us, however much we prefer them, compelling us to take in exchange new garments we would rather be without.

Excerpt from The Dance of Death: In Painting and in Print
A Cardinal and three Bishops assist; Death has here a two-fold presence. The fleurs-de-lys upon the canopy arc note-worthy.
