“The Triumph of Death” – Detail

These images of “Il Trionfo della Morte” show the fresco before it was severely damaged by a fire resulting from Allied bombing of Pisa in 1944. While the first image does not attribute the work and the second names Orcagna as the painter, art historians have credited the fresco to Lorenzetti, Traini, and Buffalmacco as well.
