Menselijke schedels, gezien vanuit verschillende hoeken en als fries gegroepeerd 1530 - 1563

Battista Franco's "Menselijke schedels, gezien vanuit verschillende hoeken en als fries gegroepeerd" is a detailed drawing depicting a collection of human skulls arranged in a frieze-like formation. Created between 1530 and 1563, the artwork showcases the artist's meticulous attention to anatomical detail, highlighting the various angles and perspectives of the skulls. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a reminder of mortality and the fleeting nature of life, a common theme in Renaissance art.
