A HISTORY OF NORFOLK 



It is curious to note for how long a time representations of the Dance of 

 Death continued. A similar one to this at Norwich was to be found in the 

 portrait of John Carter, Mayor of Yarmouth in 1627, a full century later 

 than the date of the Jannys portrait, in which the same ghastly skeleton 

 stands waiting for his prey and repeating the words ' remember thy ende.'^ 



The subject of the continuance of pictorial art in Norfolk in the changed 

 form of portrait painting does not however enter into the scope of this 

 account of mediaeval painting, and with this slight reference to the Jannys 

 portrait as marking the end of one period and the beginning of another in 

 the painter's art in the county, it may very well be brought to a close. 



* An engraving from this picture is in the Dawson Turner Coll., Add. MS. B.M., 23,051, f, 122.
