The first four plates of Holbein’s Dance of Death place the series within a Biblical context, in the story of Original Sin. The displayed opening of this Bible from 1561 shows three of those four plates illustrating the Book of Genesis. The previous page with the Holbein’s first plate, The Creation, appears below.
