"Death Appearing to a Wedded Couple from an Open Grave" is a 1639 etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, known for his profound contributions to Western art, particularly during the Dutch Golden Age. This work is part of a series of etchings, drawings, and paintings in which Rembrandt explored the theme of death and its omnipresence in human life. The etching depicts a skeletal figure of death emerging from an open grave, interrupting the lives of a newlywed couple, thus serving as a memento mori—a reminder of the inevitability of death.

The etching is characterized by Rembrandt's signature use of chiaroscuro, the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, to heighten the emotional intensity of the scene. The stark contrast emphasizes the shock and fear on the faces of the couple, as well as the grim reality represented by the figure of death. Rembrandt's intricate line work and attention to detail are evident in the textures of the clothing, the grave, and the surrounding environment, which add a sense of realism to the allegorical scene.

As with many of Rembrandt's works, this etching is notable for its psychological depth and the humanistic approach to its subjects. The artist's fascination with the human condition and the universal themes of love, life, and death resonate through the composition. "Death Appearing to a Wedded Couple from an Open Grave" is not only a reflection of the artist's technical skill but also an embodiment of the existential contemplations that preoccupied him throughout his career.

This etching is held in various collections and has been the subject of scholarly analysis, particularly in discussions of Rembrandt's exploration of mortality and the human response to the certainty of death. It continues to be studied for its artistic merit, thematic depth, and as an example of Rembrandt's enduring legacy in the history of art.
