Description:
|
|
The author of the work, which is dated around 1446, is unknown. The work comes from the court of Palazzo Sclafani, Palermo (removed in 1944). Due to its highly refined style, it is thought to have been commissioned directly by the Aragonese Kings of Naples (Alfonso V of Aragon), probably to a Catalan or Provençal artist. The theme of the "Triumph of Death" was already widespread in Europe during the 14th century, but here is represented with a particular stress on macabre and grotesque themes characterized by a cruel appearance, all features rare in Italy. Names proposed for the author include Guillaume Spicre from Bourgogne. The fresco was moved in four pieces, which can be clearly seen. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
