"Death Killing the Lovers" (1510) is a woodcut print attributed to a Follower of Hans Burgkmair, a prominent German artist of the Renaissance period. This work is part of the larger tradition of memento mori and danse macabre imagery that flourished in European art during the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, reflecting a cultural preoccupation with the universality of death and the transience of life.

The woodcut depicts a skeletal figure of Death, brandishing a dart or arrow, interrupting a pair of lovers. The scene is emblematic of the period's artistic exploration of death's inevitability and its disregard for human passion or station. The lovers, absorbed in their affection, are caught unaware by the menacing presence of Death, which serves as a stark reminder of mortality's inescapable reach.

Although the piece is not directly attributed to Hans Burgkmair the Elder (1473–1531) himself, it is believed to have been created by an artist within his circle or influenced by his style. Burgkmair was known for his pioneering contributions to the development of the woodcut as a complex, multi-colored print medium. The "Death Killing the Lovers" woodcut, while monochromatic, demonstrates the intricate line work and compositional techniques characteristic of Burgkmair's school and the broader Swabian style of the time.

The work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context, providing insight into the era's societal attitudes towards death and love. It remains an important piece for scholars studying the visual culture of the period and the evolution of thematic representation in art history.
