taunting the reaper
Cut-paper collage postcard. Robed figure from a painting by Hieronymus Bosch. Head of figure from a sculpture by François Rude. Snake from Albertus Seba's Das Naturalienkabinett. Four images on left from Death Scenes: A Homicide Detective's Scrapbook.
Note added 09/30/18: The scan of this collage is faulty in one area. See the peculiar orange bar up and to the right of the figure's foot? That's the end of a dark block of wood with nails in it, because the figure in Bosch's painting is Jesus carrying the cross while walking on boards of nails, like mortification sandals his foot is slipping off of. The wood plus nails are so dark, they disappear into the black background. I'll see if I can figure out how to enhance that area, but since I mailed out the original as a postcard, it may be a lost cause.
