Another epic piece of art. Created around 1670, Death Triumphant hails from Germany, possibly Bavaria. If you are ever in Toronto, Canada, you can visit this battle scarred, yet victorious-looking skeleton at the Art Gallery of Ontario, where it is part of their Thompson Collection.

This is beautiful. I'm loving the de-gloved skull (takes scalping to a whole new level!)... and especially the viscera masquerading as genitalia. Will definitely be checking this out the next time I visit the AGO. :-D
