Frantisek Rint

"Skull Chandelier of Sedlec Ossuary", Frantisek Rint, Human Bones, 1511

Fun Facts: This chandelier is just one of many bone composed structures such as bells, altars, and beams holding the architecture of this Czech Republic Church.  It is said to have over 40000 bones of the dead who have died from the Hussite wars and plague, making the enitre composition.  Rint was a wood carver and artist employed by the Schwarzenburg famly to cleverly make a composition, simultaneously adding a feeling of respect and awe for the dead.
