Extract

La méditation sur la mort au début du XVIe siècle se développe à la mesure des exigences humanistes qui viennent équilibrer par la raison la hantise médiévale du péché, de la repentance et de la miséricorde.

Au moment de l'exil d'Holbein en Angleterre, les représentations de la mort suscitent encore la frayeur qu'accompagne une douloureuse tristesse en face de la fragilité de la vie. Simulachres et historiees faces de la mart (1526), en plus de compatir à la souffrance humaine et de dénoncer l'injustice et l'oppression, font surgir la mort au œeur de l'activité humaine et ainsi accentuent la conscience du temps présent, la fulgurance de l'instant.

Non sunt in morte dolores / Si dolor in morte est, est timor ille dolor. / Fac timor absit, erit fatum sopor, atque sepultis / Corporis invalidi sensibus alta quies / Terrificam mortem facit ignorantia rerum / Quid timeat nescit, qui sua fata timet” (Opera Omnia, J.
