"Danse Macabre" by Bernt Notke is a prominent late 15th-century work of art that vividly illustrates the medieval allegory of the Dance of Death. This artistic genre serves as a memento mori, a reminder of the universality of death, transcending social and economic boundaries. Notke, a German artist and sculptor, is credited with creating one of the most famous and elaborate representations of this theme. His "Danse Macabre," originally painted circa 1463–1489, was a large-scale mural located in the St. Nicholas' Church (St. Nikolai Kirche) in Lübeck, Germany.

The mural depicted a procession of figures from all walks of life, led by the personification of Death, who dances them towards the grave. The composition typically includes a pope, emperor, king, child, and laborer, among others, each being summoned by Death, who is often represented as a decaying corpse or a skeletal figure. Notke's work is renowned for its detailed portrayal of the characters and the vividness with which it conveys the message that no one, regardless of status or wealth, can escape death.

Unfortunately, the original mural by Notke has not survived the passage of time and was destroyed. However, its significance is preserved through descriptions, copies, and adaptations that have been made over the centuries. The "Danse Macabre" has had a lasting impact on the cultural and artistic landscape, influencing a wide range of artistic expressions, from visual arts to music and literature. Notke's interpretation of this powerful allegory is considered a masterpiece of Northern European art and a significant contribution to the macabre art of the late Middle Ages.
