DANCE MACABRE
JEAN-BAPTISTE LULLY
D.O.D. 22 MARCH 1687
Lully was a renowned composer and ballet dancer at the court of the French King Louis XIV. He was leading a performance in a Paris church when enthusiastic conducting led him to crush his toe with the long stick he used to keep rhythm with the music. He contracted gangrene of the foot, possibly because he refused to give up dancing, and court doctors recommended amputation. The keen dancer refused treatment, and it proved to be the death of him.
