Eesti Kunstimuuseum, Niguliste muuseum. Foto Stanislav Stepaško. Research on Tallinn’s Dance of Death and Mai Lumiste – Questions and Possibilities in the 20th Century* Krista ANDRESON The aim of this article is to focus on the role of Mai Lumiste in the history of researching Tallinn’s Dance of Death, her points of departure, and those of her predecessors, and their methodological bases. When speaking of Lumiste’s contribution, the emphasis has always been on the fact that her positions were based on the technical studies conducted in Moscow between 1962 and 1965, which made the style assessment and iconographic analysis of the work possible for the first time. The literature also reflects the opinion that this research in Moscow confirmed the position that had been accepted until that time, i.e. that the author of the work was Bernt Notke. The following survey focuses on which positions formulated at that time were established on the basis of technical research and which issues still remain unresolved. Tallinn’s Dance of Death (Danse macabre) is undoubtedly the most famous medieval work of art in Estonia. It is a fragment painted on canvas. It is 7.5 metres high and 1.63 metres wide, and depicts 13 figures: the narrator of the story (a preacher) * The article was completed with the help of PUT 107 grant. The author thanks Juta Keevallik for her comprehensive critique of the article.

After a troublesome start, the Revolt was finally gaining momentum. It has often been debated whether the Dutch Revolt was a matter of money, government, or religion.2 The fact is that both nobility and the ruling class and a substantial proportion of the common people were not content with Philip II’s measures pertaining to all these areas.
