EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail from "The Triumph of Death" fresco, created by the Sienese School in the 14th century. The original artwork can be found at the Monastero di San Benedetto (Santuario Sacro Spero) in Subiaco, Rome, Italy. Painted between 1363 and 1366, this particular section of the fresco showcases an allegorical representation of death's triumph over humanity. In this hauntingly beautiful scene, a horseman rides through a desolate landscape filled with skeletal figures and animals. With his arm raised high, he wields a sword as if to symbolize death's relentless power. The artist skillfully portrays the contrast between life and death through intricate details and vibrant colors. The horses depicted in this piece add an element of movement and energy to the composition. Their wild manes flowing freely against their bony bodies create a sense of eerie beauty amidst the chaos. This detail serves as a reminder that even nature itself is subject to death's dominion. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures every nuance of this trecento masterpiece in her photograph, allowing viewers to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to medieval times when such allegorical works were used to contemplate mortality and reflect on our own existence.
