The Dance of Death 7


Adrien Dauzats, The Dance of Death (1831) 

The Abbey of La Chaise-Dieu in Auvergne has a wonderful fresco of the Dance of Death, dating from c. 1470, though time has not been kind to it, which is in itself another reminder of the fleeting nature to all things. 



















This 19th century copy, however, does a fine job of preserving some of its original power.
