"Dying: A Journey Through Time and Sacrifice" In the depths of history, we bid farewell to an era. Goodbye, Old Man, a poignant tribute captured by Fortunio Matania in 1922, reminds us of the somber toll war takes on our souls. The image of a soldier and his loyal horse during World War I speaks volumes about the sacrifices made on the battlefield. Centuries earlier, a young woman's final moments were immortalized on canvas in Young Woman on her Death Bed (1621). This haunting painting serves as a reminder that death spares no one; it comes for all regardless of age or station. Sometimes, dying becomes an act of defiance against injustice. Buddhist monk Thich Quang Duc set himself ablaze at an intersection in Saigon in 1963 to protest President Ngo Dinh Diem's oppressive measures.

Anna Pavlova's ethereal grace continues to captivate audiences even after her passing—an eternal dance with death.

Death can also be personified as an assassin lurking in every corner. In Death as Assassin (1851), wood engravings depict its relentless pursuit—reminding us that life is fleeting and unpredictable. Yet amidst these dark portrayals lies hope and tenderness—the delicate balance between life and death. The Young Girl and Death (c.
