Clare WHITE (1903-1997) Holbein’s ‘Dance of Death’, Chapel Bridge, Lucerne. Watercolour, signed, 36 x 44.The 14th century Chapel Bridge in Lucerne contained a series of traingular paintings known as the ‘Dance of Death’ commissioned by an alderman of the town to remind people of their own mortaltity. Inspired by Holbein the Younger’s haunting biblical allegories, most of the frescoes were destroyed in a fire which engulfed the wooden bridge in 1993, so this painting created sometime in the 1950s/60s stands as a faithful record of how the celebrated structure used to look. Locals in traditional dress bustling past Clare as she paints, add to the authenticity of the scene.From the collection of art historian and curator Andrew Pollard, the proprietor of the Clare White Gallery, who studied and exhibited Clare’s work 2002-2013. Andrew knew White and has been a passionate advocate for restoring the artist to her rightful place in Cornish art history. The works were purchased directly from the artist’s god daughter.
