Opis:

The Court of Death was based on a poem from 1772, Death: A Poetical Essay, by Anglican Bishop Beilby Porteus. The figures in the monumental painting were life-size. Death is surrounded by personifications including Despair, Fever, Consumption, Hypochondria, Apoplexy, Gout, Dropsy, Suicide, Delirium Tremens, Intemperance, Remorse, Pleasure, Pestilence, Famine, War, and Conflagration. To the right, a warrior, an orphaned infant, and a widow show some of the people afflicted. In the foreground, Old Age is supported by Faith.
