Skeletten maken muziek 1524 - 1538

Hans Holbein the Younger's "Skeletten maken muziek," a small woodcut created between 1524 and 1538, depicts a scene of skeletons playing musical instruments. The piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Holbein's mastery of detail and his ability to evoke a chilling atmosphere. The skeletons, in their macabre symphony, serve as a poignant reminder of the inevitability of death and the fragility of life, a motif that resonates with the broader theme of *Danse Macabre*.
