| Sumario: | This paper analyzes three images that demonstrate and express a sense of death in the European 17th century. These are pictures of the Flemish Philipp Sadeler (1550-1600) who helped to illustrate the book “ReverendiPatrisHieremiaeDrexelii, opera omnia”, published in Latin, in Germany, in 1680, and written by the German Jesuit Jeremias Drexel (1581- 1638). The aim is to analyze the functions and possible symbolic meanings attributed to these images by European Christian-Catholic groups of the period, in order to understand how the subjects thought or imagined death. |
