Death and the Young Gallant, by Anonymous (1508, c.)

Death and the Young Gallant, by Anonymous (1508, c.)

Two panels painted on the exterior of Markham Chantry Chapel in Newark St Mary Magdalene Church, Newark (Nottinghamshire). The left panel represents death portrayed as a skeleton with feminine qualities such as breasts. The right panel represents a man looking at death. Notice how death approaches the male suitor with a rose, as in courtship.
