EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Arte del Ben Morire" or "The Art of Dying Well" a remarkable piece created in 1490 by an unknown artist. Set in a bedchamber of the 15th century, this image transports us back to a time when death was not feared but embraced as an inevitable part of life. Intriguingly, the woodcut depicts both male and female figures surrounding a deathbed, symbolizing that death does not discriminate based on gender. The room is filled with an air of solemnity as demons and devils lurk nearby, reminding us of the spiritual battle faced during one's final moments. The attention to detail in this medieval artwork is awe-inspiring. Each figure is meticulously carved into the woodcut, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship prevalent during that era. This printed book contains twelve full-page woodcuts that serve as visual aids for those seeking guidance on how to face mortality with grace. Housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this Italian heritage art piece offers viewers a glimpse into centuries past while also serving as a reminder to cherish every moment we have in our own lives. It serves as a testament to human curiosity about what lies beyond our mortal existence. As we gaze upon this profound image captured by an anonymous creator from long ago, it prompts contemplation about our own mortality and encourages us to live each day fully before embracing our journey towards eternity.
