Der „Totentanz“ des Hans Holbein aus dem 16. Jahrhundert ist der wohl bekannteste im deutschen Sprachraum. Mit den eindringlichen Holzschnitten sollte den Menschen vor Augen geführt werden, daß ein jeder dem Tod begegnen wird. Sie sollen dazu anhalten, in sich zu kehren, und ein vor Gott rechtschaffenes Leben zu führen, da niemand weiß, wann die letzte Stunde kommt.
