Speculum Mortis: The Image of Death in Late Medieval Bohemian Painting (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781498586573)

This study analyzes late medieval paintings of personified death in Bohemia, arguing that Bohemian iconography was distinct from the body of macabre painting found in other Central European regions during the same period. The author focuses on a variety of images from late medieval Bohemia, examining how they express the imagination, devotion, and anxieties surrounding death in the Middle Ages.
