The Triumph of Death (detail)Buonamico Buffalmacco
In this infernal vision (1336–41), a monstrous beast devours the damned, symbolizing the gaping maw of Hell. Twisted bodies writhe in torment, reinforcing the terror of divine punishment. The grotesque imagery served as a visceral warning against sin for medieval viewers, blending fear with moral instruction.
