Description
A sinner on his death bed, 15th century, (1870). Two demons are whispering into his ear: think of the treasure, and distribute it to thy friends. Ars moriendi (The Art of Dying) is the name of two related Latin texts dating from 1415 and 1450 which offer advice on the protocols and procedures of a good death and on how to die well, according to Christian precepts of the late Middle Ages. A 19th century version of an original 15th century manuscript illustration from the first xylographic edition of the Ars Moriendi. From The Arts of the Middle Ages and at the Period of the Renaissance, by Paul LaCroix (London, 1870). (Photo by The Print Collector/Print Collector/Getty Images)
