La Danza Macabra e il Trionfo della Morte, è un affresco tardo medioevale che si trova sulla facciata esterna dell'Oratorio dei Disciplini, di fronte alla Basilica di Clusone (BG) , L'affresco datato 1485 fu eseguito da Giacomo Borlone de Buschis, pittore seriano. Convenzionalmente conosciuto come Danza Macabra , in realtà l'affresco è una sorta di antologia dei temi macabri quattrocenteschi, uniti in un'unica rappresentazione che si può dividere in tre fasce. In alto troviamo il trionfo della morte. Sempre in alto a sinistra , originariamente separata dal Trionfo da una finestra vi è la citazione dell'incontro tra i vivi ed i tre morti. Nella fascia centrale troviamo invece la vera e propria Danza Macabra, sotto forma di una lenta processione in cui ogni uomo è accompagnato dal proprio scheletro, alter ego post mortem. La parte inferiore dell'affresco, ora purtroppo andata quasi completamente perduta , rappresentava una sorte di Giudizio Universale, in cui i giusti ascendono e il male sprofonda nelle viscere degli abissi

Excellent reproduction of this frescoed frontispiece. There is another dance of death that deserves a visit, on the church of S. Vigilio in Pinzolo in Va Rendena (Tn). Congratulations Ezio.

Thank you Warszawski for visiting. If you happen to pass in Clusone in addition to the Macabre Dance that is outside, I suggest you also visit the inside of the Oratory of the Disciplines. It is a unique fresco and very well preserved. Hello and good evening.
Ezio. ;-)

Nice picture. For a long time I want to come to Clusone to photograph it and instead it always ends up that when I come there I climb the mountains.
