The Triumph of Death (detail)Buonamico Buffalmacco
In this section of the fresco (c. 1336–41), noble youths on horseback confront rotting corpses in open coffins, while a hermit gestures toward a scroll. Buffalmacco contrasts worldly vanity with the inevitability of decay, urging viewers to reflect on mortality, repentance, and the futility of earthly pleasures.
