''Death and the Maiden'' (''Der Tod und das Mädchen'' in German) was a common motif in Renaissance art, especially in German painting and printmaking.

It developed from the Danse Macabre with an added erotic subtext. The German artist Hans Baldung depicted it several times.Le Mort dans l'Art The motif was revived during the romantic era in the arts, a notable example being Franz Schubert's song "Der Tod und das Mädchen", setting a poem by the German poet Matthias Claudius.
