"Death Comes to the Miser or Usurer" is a woodcut by Hans Holbein the Younger, a German and Swiss artist and printmaker who became one of the most celebrated portraitists of the 16th century. This woodcut is part of Holbein's "Dance of Death" series, also known as "Danse Macabre," which was created around 1523–1526. The series comprises a collection of woodcuts that depict various figures from all walks of life being confronted by the personification of Death, reminding viewers of the universality and inevitability of death.

In "Death Comes to the Miser or Usurer," Holbein vividly illustrates the moment when Death intrudes upon the life of a miser—a person who hoards wealth and spends as little money as possible. The woodcut shows Death, often depicted as a skeleton, entering the room of the miser, who is surrounded by symbols of his wealth and earthly possessions. The image serves as a moral lesson on the futility of greed and the importance of living a life not solely focused on material wealth, as all are equal in the face of death.

Holbein's "Dance of Death" series was influential in the history of art and has been praised for its masterful technique, intricate detail, and profound commentary on the human condition. The woodcuts were widely disseminated throughout Europe and contributed to the popularization of the dance of death motif during the Renaissance. "Death Comes to the Miser or Usurer" stands as a significant example of Holbein's skill in conveying complex themes through the medium of printmaking, and it remains an important work for the study of Northern Renaissance art and the cultural history of death.
