Triumph of Death by Artemio Rodríguez | Artwork Installation Timelapse | Blanton Museum of Art
Have you seen this striking nine-panel woodcut print by renowned artist Artemio Rodríguez? Now on display in the exhibition “In Creative Harmony,” this large-scale artwork captures a dramatic panoramic battle scene filled with skeletal infantry and a scythe-wielding Grim Reaper. Inspired by Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s iconic painting “The Triumph of Death,” which Rodríguez encountered at Madrid’s Museo del Prado in 1999, this powerful piece offers a modern take on apocalyptic themes through bold printmaking and intricate detail.
This work is featured in the section “José Guadalupe Posada and Artemio Rodríguez: Calaveras y Corazones.” Learn more about the exhibition, closing July 20, 2025, at: https://blantonmuseum.org/ich
