Title
Triumph of Death, by Antonio del Chierico (1475, c.)
Description
In this illustration, a winged skeleton appears in the center while holding a scythe.
Gender perspective: Underneath the skeleton, a group of men lie on the ground, while a group of women on the left run away from the scene. In this representation, it seems as if death separates its victims by their gender.
