Description


Mornin' All *S* Here's some info about today's post for those who are interested : Danse Macabre (French), Danza Macabra (Italian) or Totentanz (German), is a late-medieval allegory on the universality of death: no matter one's station in life, the dance of death unites all. La Danse Macabre consists of the personified death leading a row of dancing figures from all walks of life to the grave—typically with an emperor, king, youngster, beautiful girl, all skeletal. They were produced to remind people of how fragile their lives were and how vain the glories of earthly life were. According to the ancient superstition, "Death" appears at midnight every year on Halloween. Death has the power to call forth the dead from their graves to dance for him while he plays his fiddle. His skeletons dance for him until the first break of dawn, when they must return to their graves until the next year. Camille Saint-Saens (1835 - 1921) who is more well known for his "Carnival of Animals," also wrote a "Danse Macabre" piece, and as in his "Carnival" used a xylophone to symbolize the rattling of bones. Well, hope you enjoy my little version...sorry, no skeletons :o) ...y'all have a good one ! ~ Love & Hugs ~ * Mina * Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket Credits: www.mjranum.deviantart.com www.annikavonholdt.com

Another technically brilliant piece of work. I love how you have given text to accompany the picture... as if the picture wasn't enough the text adds another layer to a stunning composition.

I was looking at your picture and my mind was wondering what is going on? Well, she is a ghost, but I was thinking more on the lines to where she is running to the coffee pot and screaming: "Don't take the last cup!" YOU HAVE BEEN FAVORITIZED!!!

I am so far behind, I have been forced to cut and paste. I wanted you to know I was here and had viewed your work. You are one of my favorite artists or I would not even be here. I love your art. In fact now that I think about it you are part of the reason I am so behind...LOL
