EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Death Comes To The Pedlar" transports us to a world of apocalyptic finality. Created by Georg Scharffenberg after the renowned Hans Holbein the Younger, this woodcut is part of the iconic series "Der Todten Tanz" or "The Dance of Death" published in Basel in 1843. In this haunting illustration, we witness the inevitable fate that awaits us all. Death arrives unannounced, dressed as a pedlar, reminding us that our destiny is sealed. The vertical composition adds to the sense of impending doom as Death's presence looms over everything. Set against the backdrop of Switzerland's picturesque landscapes, this woodcut captures both beauty and darkness simultaneously. It serves as a powerful reminder that death spares no one and comes for all eventually. Ken Welsh's masterful printing technique brings out every intricate detail of Scharffenberg's woodcut, enhancing its eerie atmosphere. Through his skillful interpretation, he invites viewers to contemplate their mortality and reflect upon life's transient nature. This thought-provoking piece transcends time and continues to resonate with audiences today. Its message remains relevant: regardless of wealth or status, death is an unavoidable part of our existence. As we gaze at this mesmerizing image, we are reminded to live each day fully and appreciate life's precious moments before our own dance with destiny begins.
