The Triumph of Death (detail)Buonamico Buffalmacco

This fragment (c. 1336–41) captures the idle pleasures of aristocratic youth, engrossed in a game of chance. Buffalmacco contrasts their refined elegance with looming mortality, underscoring the fragility of earthly delights. The fresco serves as a moral admonition against vanity and distraction in the face of death.
