EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraved title page, titled "Triomphe de la Mort" or "The Triumph of Death," is a striking visual representation of the transience of life. The image, created by Chretien de Mechel in 1860, is based on original drawings by Peter Paul Rubens and Hans Holbein. The title is engraved on a gravestone, with a portrait of Hans Holbein atop, flanked by two cherubs. A figure of Death stands to the left, pointing to a terrified man, who is hiding behind a curtain at the right, clutching a spear in his right hand. The title page serves as an introduction to Holbein's intended painting, as indicated by the heap of attributes of greatness, dignities, wealth, arts, and sciences, intermixed with death's heads, all of which are being trampled underfoot by Death himself. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the inevitability of death and the fleeting nature of human life. The use of a gravestone as a backdrop and the inclusion of a portrait of Holbein adds an intriguing layer of self-reflection and introspection to the image. The title page is a beautiful and poignant representation of the intersection of life and death, and a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the human experience.
