"This fresco, painted in 1474 on a wall of a cemetery church in Croatia, depicts figures meant to represent all the 'types' in medieval society... All the figures are flanked by gleeful, dancing skeletons. The message is clear: everyone, even the most exalted, ends up in the grave" (The Making of the West 412).
