Marcel Roux (September 11, 1878 – January 19, 1922) was a French painter and engraver.[1] [2]
A devout Catholic, he often explored the decadence of turn-of-the-century life through images of its suffering. This includes his Danse Macabre portfolio of 15 etchings from 1904-05 that draws on the tradition of the dance of death.[3]
