Nicht so traurig, junges Blut
heimwärts zieht man frohgemut
Not so sad, young blood
homeward you should go cheerfully

Holde Maid im Myrtenkranz,
Folge mir zum Hochzeitstanz
Damsel in myrtle wreath,
Follow me to the wedding dance

Oi! Were these sayings and paintings really meant to cheer people up??
Such morbid thoughts and images must have been the result of the plagues.
I still see this as strange, but it is also fascinating!
I dunno, Karl. These are rather weird and somewhat scary! A "death becomes you" kind of thing! :)
They are a little sad.
They're definitely in the right spot Karl :)
A bit ghoulish, but rather interesting too!
There is a creepyness to these, Karl!
Na ja, irgendwie muss man ja immer an den Tod denken...
I love the painter's sense of humor. I could go for something like that if I decided to go with a tombstone.
