THE CHARIOT OF DEATH(1851) by THÉOPHILE SCHULER
The painting is inspired by medieval and early Renaissance Dances of Death, especially HANS HOLBEIN THE YOUNGER'S. Similar to earlier paintings, SCHULER depicts people of all ages and occupations, including the Pope, the King, the young mother (reconstructed from the artist’s sister), the fool, the poet, the sick man, the lawyer, the murderer, the Indian, the Arab, and the young Napoleon... all victims of death.
A special emphasis is placed on artists (among them DANTE and a self-portrait of SCHULER), who are at the top of the pyramidal composition, and on FRENCH revolutionaries, with whom SCHULER had empathized.
The angel of death is in the centre of SCHULER'S painting, a young, beautiful, but cold-faced young woman with black hair, black wings, driving a chariot while looking directly at the viewer.
The other personification of Death is the skeleton in a shroud in the lower right-hand corner of the painting. The skeleton grabs an executioner with his right hand and drives the WANDERING JEW away with his left hand, which is a typical ANTI-JUDAISM motif.
On the opposite side of the diagonal starting bottom right with the WANDERING JEW is a wayside cross, which the chariot is only driving by. SCHULER thus raises the question of the meaning of death and alludes to the inability of religion to provide an answer.
