Resumen

Iconographic and literary genre of the Late Middle Ages, the Dance of Death, presents certain difficulties for its study – the main one is the unstable existence of the works, especially the images. In many cases, they were known only by written records. Many of them have already been destroyed, others have been covered. Those remainig visible have major problems, such as current state of intense deterioration or even interventions made during the 20th century that, despite being carried out with the intention of preserving them, may have decharacterized them. In order to elucidate this problem, the article shows some of these samples, such as the Dances of the cemetery of Saints-Innocents, in Paris, and in La Chaise-Dieu, Meslay-le-Grenet and La Ferté-Loupière
