Summary

The Triumph of Death by Pieter Brueghel the Elder

Moral work that shows the triumph of Death over worldly things, symbolized through a large army of skeletons ravaging the Earth. In the background appears a barren landscape where scenes of destruction still unfold. In the foreground, Death at the head of his armies on a reddish horse, destroys the world of the living, who are led to a huge coffin, with no hope of salvation. All social strata are included in the composition, without power or devotion being able to save them.
