Michael Wolgemut, Dance of Death, 1493
#art #MichaelWolgemut

This is my favourite print by Michael Wolgemut (1434-1519)—"Danse macabre" from 1493. Skeletons kicking up their heels, corpses trailing their intestines and one playing a reed-flute - what's not to love? #michaelwolgemut #woodcuts #woodcut #prints #print

This 1493 print of Circe and Ulysses by Michael Wolgemut (1434-1519) has the delightful quirk of medieval art of illustrating ancient myths using contemporary garb and objects. #michaelwolgemut #woodcuts #woodcut #prints #print

This is a page from a 1493 book, "Historia Mundi" by Hartmann Schedel (1440-1514), known as the "Nuremberg Chronicle". Schedel's work is more remembered for its woodcuts by Michael Wolgemut (1434-1519) than his text. #michaelwolgemut #hartmannschedel #woodcuts #woodcut #prints #print

Michael Wolgemut (1434-1519) was a German artist and printmaker now mostly known for having taught Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528). His woodcuts are characterised by their liveliness. This 1493 print is "Sermon of the Antichrist". #michaelwolgemut #woodcuts #woodcut #prints #print
