triumph of death fresco印象
-
I went to see the touted Triumph of Death Fresco but walking around this museum was not enjoyable. Almost all the images were of death and sin. It was depressing to see the sheer numbers of horrible crucifictions and purgatory depicted. They don't call it the Dark Ages for nothing. There was one Flemish tryptic that had fine details that we appreciated, surrounded by all the horrors of the others.The staff followed you around.(There was NOTHING I wanted to photograph!) The man at the ticket booth overcharges you (count your euros). The bathrooms DO NOT HAVE SEATS on the toilets. Just a zero for the money.

The fresco is impressive. You can appreciate it better from upstairs. Full of allegories and hidden meanings. Really worthed to see. The gallery is good in the complex. Interesting the wooden crosses.

Even if you are not so interesting in art the Triumph of Death fresco, is not to be missed. This is a great work of art, and one of the most striking to see around. It's more than just a picture: it has it's story and clear message (think of the imminence of death in plague infested Palermo). On the other side, the fresco gives some insight on the social agenda and church propaganda, but what strikes the most is the frankness and impartiality: the death is here around, and no one is spared: even the rich and clergy are the victims, and they are struck by arrows of the creepy Skeleton figure (personification of Death). The whole art gallery is worth a visit, and has some other must-see pieces. I liked the size of the gallery as well: in the end of the visit you don't feel suffocated by the huge mass of art treasures...somehow the measure is just perfect.

It is full of important meanings. You see the Deth riding an horse and killing the rich and saving poor people. I could stay hours on front that "fresco"

We liked many of the works in the museum, particularly the great Triumph of Death fresco in the former chapel. The depiction of Death riding a skeletal horse surrounded by pitiful humanity is powerful. There is immense detail in the work and we spent time examining it.

Remarkably well preserved fresco showing the story of the plague in a medieval city, with those who succumbed and those who were spared, and death riding through the centre. The horseman is said to have inspired Picasso's Guernica.

This fresco ( no photos allowed) is housed in the Palazzo Abatellis which houses the regional museum of Sicily. It is the largest and most unique object in the museum.

Outstanding social commentary from about 500 years ago.Would like to know if they are actual physical representations of the "great and good" of the day reaping their just rewards from death himself....The upper floor of the museum has an amzing picture gallery that vivdly illustrates the (then) fashionable Carravaggio style of religious imagery.

A bizarre terrifying evocation of death, similar to one found in the campo santo in Pisa. Scary and moving at the same time, a very apt painting for Palermo.Relocated to this wonderful museum designed by Carlo Scarpa.

Small museum with more staff than tourists. Were followed everywhere. In one room there were about 6 ladies watching us. A little unnerving and unnecessary.
