Journey for Eternity, No. 3 1834 - 1844

J. J. Grandville's "Journey for Eternity, No. 3" (1834-1844) is a satirical lithograph depicting a skeletal figure in a military uniform, representing death, leading a man towards the afterlife. Grandville was known for his grotesque and humorous illustrations, often using allegory and social commentary. The scene's stark contrast between the living and the dead is a poignant reminder of mortality. The artwork is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
