= Reichelt 160; cat. Mensch und Tod 1143; "Ihr müßt alle nach meiner Pfeife tanzen" p. 23; cf. Oppermann 1125b. Warthin p.38: "Among the most interesting of the incunabula woodcuts, in which this death motive is introduced, is one in the "Weltchronik" of Dr. Schedel, Nürnberg, 1493. The picture, most probably the work of Wohlgemut, shows five deaths celebrating the feast of Resurrection. One blows the flute, the others dance a solemn cancan. The deaths show different stages of dissolution; two are almost completely skeletonized. An interesting tale is told of the artist's difficulty in drawing skeletons. He wished to borrow a skeleton from Schedel to serve as a model. Schedel, however, possessed only a thigh bone; from this the artist developed the whole of the extremities. This woodcut is an amusing and sophisticated caricature of the Totentanz motive, perhaps as a comeback to the special satire against the physician of the Dance of Death." SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE CIII.
