The Triumph of Death (detail)Buonamico Buffalmacco
In this harrowing Hellscape (c. 1336–41), demons torment the damned with grotesque cruelty, dragging them into eternal suffering. Buffalmacco’s vivid depiction of infernal punishment warns of divine justice. This imagery served as a visceral moral lesson to a 14th-c. audience surrounded by plague and unrest.
