EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail from the fresco titled "Triumph of Death and Dance of Death" by Giacomo Borlone de Buschis. In this particular scene, Death stands on a sarcophagus where the bodies of a dead Pope and Emperor lie. The atmosphere is eerie as they are surrounded by serpents, scorpions, and toads - all symbolic representations of pride and sudden death. The image evokes a sense of mortality and reminds viewers that life is not everlasting. Death holds large scrolls, serving as a poignant reminder that our time on Earth is limited. This powerful artwork showcases the artist's skill in depicting macabre themes while exploring concepts such as nobility, religion, and the transient nature of existence. Located in Clusone, Italy at the Oratorio dei Disciplini (also known as St. Bernardino), this fresco adorns the facade with its intricate details and thought-provoking symbolism. The Triumph of Death dominates the top portion while below it lies a Dance of Death or Macabre Dance. Giacomo Borlone de Buschis' work transports us back to 1485 when this masterpiece was created - an era marked by religious fervor and artistic expression. This print allows us to appreciate both the technical brilliance behind these frescoes as well as their profound message about life's impermanence.
