Memento Mori is Latin for "Remember, you will die." It's a philosophical discipline of the Stoics of classic antiquity that invoked daily reminders of our mortality and the certainty of Death as a way to remind people of all classes to live a life that passes judgement at the moment of Death's calling.
The Expulsion is from the most famous reproduction of the Danse Macabre, a Memento Mori motif, in Les simulachres & historiees faces de la mort, 1538. The book presented woodcuts by Hans Holbein with John Lydgate's 1430 translation of the Danse Macabre.
These images have been republished over centuries and are newly remastered by Christian Grantham with sourcing from Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
