WHAT DOES DANSE MACABRE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

danse macabre

Danse Macabre

Dance of Death, also variously called Danse Macabre, Danza Macabra, Dansul Morţii, Danza de la Muerte, Dansa de la Mort, Dança Macabra, Totentanz, Dodendans, Surmatants, is an artistic genre of late-medieval allegory on the universality of death: no matter one's station in life, the Dance of Death unites all. The Danse Macabre consists of the dead or personified Death summoning representatives from all walks of life to dance along to the grave, typically with a pope, emperor, king, child, and labourer. They were produced to remind people of the fragility of their lives and how vain were the glories of earthly life. Its origins are postulated from illustrated sermon texts; the earliest recorded visual scheme was a now lost mural in the Saints Innocents Cemetery in Paris dating from 1424–25.
