Black Death in medieval culture information


Inspired by Black Death, The Dance of Death is an allegory on the universality of death and a common painting motif in late medieval period.

The Black Death (1346–1353) had great effects on the art and literature of medieval societies that experienced it.

Although contemporary chronicles are often regarded by historians as the most realistic portrayals of the Black Death, the effects of such a large-scale shared experience on the population of Europe influenced poetry, prose, stage works, music and artwork throughout the period. This resulted in evident writers such as Chaucer, Boccaccio, and Petrarch, and artists such as Holbein.
