"Death Comes for the Drunkard" is a woodcut by Hans Holbein the Younger, a German and Swiss artist and printmaker who lived during the Renaissance period. This work is part of Holbein's famous series "Dance of Death," also known as "Danse Macabre," which consists of a collection of woodcuts created around 1523-1525. The series includes various representations of Death personified, interacting with individuals from all walks of life, from the most powerful to the most vulnerable, to illustrate the universality of mortality.

In "Death Comes for the Drunkard," Holbein depicts a scene where Death, often shown as a skeleton, confronts a drunken man. The image serves as a moral lesson, a common theme in the "Dance of Death" series, warning against the vice of excessive drinking and the inevitability of death regardless of one's social status or personal indulgences. The drunkard, caught in a moment of inebriation, is surprised by Death, who appears unexpectedly to claim his life.

Holbein's work is renowned for its intricate detail, masterful use of the woodcut medium, and its poignant commentary on the human condition. The "Dance of Death" series, including "Death Comes for the Drunkard," was widely disseminated throughout Europe and had a significant impact on the visual arts, as well as on the cultural perception of death and morality during the 16th century. Holbein's woodcuts are considered some of the most powerful and influential works of Northern Renaissance art, and they continue to be studied and admired for their artistic merit and historical significance.
