Danse Macabre

Danse Macabre, or "Dance of Death," is a medieval artistic concept that illustrates the inevitable nature of death, showing how it unites people across different social classes. Typically depicted in paintings, literature, and music, it portrays skeletal figures leading individuals—from kings to commoners—in a dance towards their demise. This theme emphasizes mortality, reminding viewers that death is a shared fate that transcends wealth and status. The imagery serves both as a moral lesson and an invitation to contemplate the fragility of life, ultimately highlighting the human experience’s universal truths.
