Pieter Bruegel's The Triumph of Death reflects the social upheaval and terror that followed the plague, which devastated medieval Europe. A moral work depicting Death's triumph over worldly things, symbolized by a great army of skeletons ravaging the Earth. In the background is a barren landscape where scenes of destruction continue to unfold. In the foreground, Death, riding a red horse at the head of his armies, destroys the world of the living, who are led to an enormous coffin with no hope of salvation. All social classes are included in the composition, with neither power nor devotion able to save them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Death#/media/File:The_Triumph_of_Death_by_Pieter_Bruegel_the_Elder.jpg
