See pieces like it you can buyThe 1922 French release lithograph (Les Trois Lumières) for Fritz Lang's Der müde Tod, drawn by Francisco Tamagno. Lang's early masterwork of fate and folklore, whose vaulted hall of flames enthralled a young Alfred Hitchcock and Luis Bunuel alike. Notice the tall candle-flames standing in for lives about to be snuffed. Death, tired of his office.
