Stone lithographed by Danzer after Hieronymous Hess
DANCE OF DEATH
Switzerland, 1841.
Leaf: 34.8 x 28 cm; 13.8 x 11 inches
Extremely rare Dance of Death by Hieronymous Hess after Büchel.
Hieronymus Hess (1799-1850) was an artist from Basel. As a young man he studied a few years in Rome among the contemporary artists known as "Nazarenes". Another Nazarene was the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen and Thorvaldsen's Museum's Internet-site has a number of letters from Hess to Thorvaldsen. Later on, Thorvaldsen through his contacts sent the young Hess to Nuremberg, but Hess preferred caricatures to Dürer.
