Describe the images of death in Chapter 4 on pages 68 and 69, and name some of the specific paintings.

The images of death range from many periods of art. Giotto portrays the "Death of St. Francis" from Early Ages, and Brueghel illustrates the Middle Ages with detail from his "Triumph of Death". Manet's "Dead Toreador" echoes the elegant simplicity of the corpse lost in the complexity of the gatherings surrounding the deaths on page 68. The gruesomeness of the French Revolution is illustrated by Gericault's "Guillotined Heads." A degree of peace in death is re-established with Hans Baldung Grien's "Three Ages of Woman". The three women and child are all unclothed, as is common in the Middle Ages, but their images' physical transformation from child to skeleton overcomes any hint of sensuality.
