Comedy of the Death, Rodolphe Bresdin, 1861 print Landscape with dead gnarled trees, skeletons and many fantasy creatures such as allegory on death. An old man is in a hollow with a challenging ankle and his head in his hands. Another man sits next to the cave on a tree stump on the shore near water with an open book next to him. On the left in the background is Christ, he makes a gesture to heaven. Roots of the trees take on human forms and animals have faces. At the top of a dead tree are two skeletons that put an oak branch in the air in a gesture of victory. Skeletes fall apart on the bank
