Representations of Death in Visual Culture from Antiquity to the Present Time

Special Guest Editor: Luis Vives-Ferrándiz Sánchez

The idea of ​​death has been present, since its inception, in visual culture and in the art of different times and spaces. The awareness of the end and the expiration of life have led to reflections of the human being on death and the meaning of existence that have been reflected in images of various forms and materials. The relationships between death and the image have been very fruitful throughout history and have been concretized in themes, ideas, and notions that unfold in the different possibilities of visual culture from Antiquity to the contemporary world. From the representations and personifications of this to the reflections on the passage of time and the fleetingness of the life of the thought of the vanitas, death is a subject treated from different perspectives and sensibilities in the culture that has even been introduced on the web 2.0 and the internet.
