The Dance of Death, or Danse Macabre in French, is a late-medieval allegory on the universality of death: whether rich and powerful or poor and helpless, the dance we do with Death unites us all. The earliest visual record is from the cemetery of the Church of the Holy Innocents in Paris (1424-25), although it no longer exists. Other artists, including Bernt Notke, Vincent of Kastav, John of Kastav, and Pieter Brueghel the Elder addressed the subject in their art. My favorite treatment, reproduced here, is the wood cuts designed by Hans Holbein the Younger (1497-1543) in 1526 while he was in Basel and cut by the accomplished Formschneider (block cutter) Hans Lützelburger. Each image has been carefully restored, to the best of my ability, and is suitable for framing either in the original black and white or with whatever fanciful colors you choose to include. I hope you enjoy the beauty of the work of Holbein and Lützelburger as reproduced here and that you enjoy many pleasant hours of coloring.

<h2>He fought for his country. Now he's battling absolute evil.</h2> Iraq's bloody battlefields changed Lieutenant Jacob Baccus forever. When a cakewalk mission to loot Baghdad's National Museum turns his entire platoon into mincemeat, his mind shatters. And with his sanity still in doubt back home, he believes his only way to redemption is to sign a binding contract as the church's special assassin. Shocked to learn that demons and fallen angels are real, Baccus finds himself embroiled in a brutal war that's been raging for millennia. And unless he can take down the bad guys faster than they pop up, everyone he's sworn to protect will die. Will Baccus's torment lead him down a dark path, or can he rise up as the ultimate soldier of light? The Darkside of Good is the first book in the twisted Darkside of Good grim fantasy series. If you like tough-as-nails heroes, gory horror, and wicked humor, then you'll love Jeff Bacon's graphic rollercoaster ride. <h2>Buy The Darkside of Good to throw down with the Devil today!</h2>
