"Death Comes for the Farmer or Husbandman" is a notable woodcut from the "Dance of Death" series by Hans Holbein the Younger, a German and Swiss artist renowned for his contributions to the Northern Renaissance. Created in the early 16th century, specifically around 1523-1525, this work is part of a larger collection that vividly illustrates the universality of death, a theme that resonated deeply during a period marked by religious reform, war, and plague.

Holbein's "Dance of Death" series, including "Death Comes for the Farmer or Husbandman," is celebrated for its intricate detail, masterful composition, and profound commentary on human mortality and the social hierarchy. In this particular woodcut, Holbein depicts death in a rural setting, approaching a farmer or husbandman, who is emblematic of the agricultural backbone of society. This imagery serves as a poignant reminder of death's impartiality, striking regardless of one's social status or occupation.

The series was initially published in Lyon in 1538, and Holbein's woodcuts were accompanied by Bible verses and poems in French, adding layers of textual meaning to the visual narrative. "Death Comes for the Farmer or Husbandman," like the other woodcuts in the series, showcases Holbein's skill in blending Gothic art traditions with the emerging Renaissance emphasis on realism and humanism.

Holbein's work has been interpreted as a reflection of the era's anxieties and a critique of social inequalities, with death acting as the great equalizer. The "Dance of Death" series, and "Death Comes for the Farmer or Husbandman" in particular, remains a significant artistic and cultural artifact, offering insight into 16th-century European life, attitudes towards death, and the evolution of printmaking as a form of social commentary.

This woodcut, along with the rest of the series, has been extensively studied and admired for its artistic merit and historical significance, contributing to Hans Holbein the Younger's reputation as one of the period's most influential artists.
