"Dance of the Dead" is a striking drawing by German artist Fritz Boehle, currently housed in the Städel Museum. The work depicts a skeletal figure, a naked woman, and a man, all standing within a dark, forested setting. The juxtaposition of life and death in the scene evokes a sense of foreboding and mortality. The detailed anatomical depiction of the skeleton and the contrasting depiction of the human figures contribute to a strong visual impact. This piece exemplifies Boehle's exploration of the human condition and the inevitable presence of death.
