Alfred Rethel
The Dance of Death - Woodcut by Alfred Rethel - Mid-19th Century

Mid-19th Century

About the Item

The New Dance of Dead is an Woodcut Print realized by Alfred Rethel in 1848. The artwork is in good condition on a yellowed paper, included a white cardboard passpartout (32x48 cm). No signature. Alfred Rethel (May 15, 1816 – December 1, 1859) was a German history painter. In 1844, Rethel visited Rome, executing, along with other subjects, an altar-piece for one of the churches of his native land. In 1846, he returned to Aachen, and commenced his Charlemagne frescoes. But mental derangement, attributed, it is believed, to an accident that he suffered in childhood, began to manifest itself. While he hovered between madness and sanity, Rethel produced some of the most striking, individual, and impressive of his works.
