DEATH AND THE MAIDEN I. 3


Edward Munch completed this engraving in 1894. Here, Death in the form of a skeleton suggests the victory of Love over Death as the young girl passionately embraces him. The beautiful girl is not dominated or intimidated by Death for she embraces death willingly and with great passion and intimacy.
