"Death Comes for the Robber" is one of the woodcut prints from the iconic series "Dance of Death" by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger. Created around 1523-1526 during the Renaissance period, Holbein's series comprises 41 woodcuts that depict Death, personified as a skeleton, interacting with individuals from various walks of life. In "Death Comes for the Robber," Holbein presents a narrative scene where Death confronts a robber, a representation that serves as a moral allegory on the inevitability of death and the futility of worldly pursuits.

The "Dance of Death" series, also known as "Danse Macabre," is considered one of Holbein's masterpieces and reflects the artist's preoccupation with the themes of mortality and the transient nature of human achievements. The series was initially created as part of a book that included a Bible quotation and a poem for each image, providing a contemplative commentary on the depicted scene. "Death Comes for the Robber" stands out within the series for its vivid portrayal of the confrontation between the criminal and the unyielding force of Death, symbolizing the ultimate justice that awaits all, regardless of their earthly deeds.

Hans Holbein the Younger (c. 1497-1543) was a German and Swiss artist who gained fame for his contributions to the Northern Renaissance, particularly through his portrait work and religious compositions. His "Dance of Death" series has been influential in the history of art, with its stark and evocative imagery serving as a poignant reminder of the universality of death. The series has been reproduced and interpreted in various forms over the centuries, attesting to its enduring impact on European art and culture.

The woodcut "Death Comes for the Robber" exemplifies Holbein's skill in combining fine detail with dramatic composition, making it a significant work within the broader context of his oeuvre. The print is held in high regard by art historians and is frequently studied for its artistic merit and rich symbolism.
