What was the artistic genre from the medieval period that used the allegory that death unites us all without any respect for our station, age, and wealth? The earliest example of this genre was found in the Church of the Holy Innocents in Paris.
Explanation
Answer: A - Danse Macabre, also known as Dance of Death, was a popular genre during the Bubonic Plague in Europe. With the high number of deaths, almost 50% of the European population, death became the equalizer of people. Death did not care about rich, poor, lord or peasant, and this genre of art reminded people their own mortality. Danse Macabre and its allegory of death served as a reminder to everyone that death was coming.
