Death looms, grinning, while the living kneel below.

Death presides here not with solemnity but with something close to delight, its bony hand resting on a fool's head as if conferring a blessing no one asked for. Life and mortality are arranged like guests at a banquet, the skull on the platter a centerpiece nobody ordered. The colors burn against the darkness, urgent and carnivalesque, as though the painting itself refuses to be solemn about the inevitable.
