Memento Mori, Skeleton in a Niche - Master IAM of Zwolle Art Print
Couldn't load pickup availability
He lounges, one hand on his hip, a man about to tell a joke. Master IAM of Zwolle cut this Memento Mori into copper in the late 15th century, and the skeleton in a niche has been mid-sentence ever since. Above him an empty banderole loops through cross-hatched, peat-smoke shadow. Nobody lettered it. The speech scroll waits for your line.
Lean into the Netherlandish engraving and your host gets ruder. One worm lifts its head from an eye socket. A second slides between the teeth and knots into a figure eight. Vellum-tan skin clings to his ribs in scalloped rags, and a toad squats in the opened belly. One shin kicks straight up, five toes fanned.
Late Gothic chapels carved corpses this way on transi tombs. A burin shrank the warning to a page any Hanseatic merchant could pocket, and this macabre art print brings it to your wall. The burial shroud spills over the stone ledge in hard folds. One bony hand grips it, a sleeper guarding his blanket.
Origin Story
Wall Art Size Guides
Framed Art Prints
1. Vertical
Use the sawtooth hanger at the top middle on the back of the frame and hang it on a single screw or nail.
2. Horizontal
Hang the two sawtooth hangers on two screws or nails at the same heightPut two screws or nails in the wall at the same height, spaced the same distance apart as the two sawtooth hangers, then hang your print on them.
Framed Canvas
1. D-rings (most secure)
Screw a D-ring onto the back of the frame on the left and right, both at the same height. A ruler helps here. Then put two screws in the wall where you want your canvas, level with each other and spaced the same distance apart as the D-rings. A spirit level makes this easier. Finally, hook the D-rings onto the screws.
2. Straight onto screws
Keep it simple: put two screws in the wall at the same height and rest the inner lip at the top of the back of the frame on them.
