dance of deathPopular theme in painting of the late medieval period, depicting an allegorical representation of death (usually a skeleton) leading the famous and the not-so-famous to the grave. One of the best-known representations is a series of woodcuts (1523-26) by Hans Holbein the Younger. It has also been exploited as a theme in music, for example the Danse macabre of Saint-Saëns (1874), an orchestral composition in which the xylophone was introduced to represent dancing skeletons.
