Memento Mori Hoodie

Description

This print is taken from a 17th century wood carving from the artist Hans Holbein the Younger’s “Dance of Death” series. The print serves as a “Memento Mori,” meaning “Remember Death” in Latin, and is meant to depict that death spares no one. Memento mori is the medieval theory and practice of reflection on mortality, especially as a means of considering the vanity of earthly life and the transient nature of all earthly goods and pursuits.

In this print, titled “The Astrologer,” an astrologer is seen in his study, looking attentively at a suspended astrolabe. Death holds out a skull to him, and seems, in mockery, to say, “Here is a better subject for your contemplation.”
