介绍（中）	1496年11月2日，有影响力的多明尼加传教士萨沃纳罗拉发表了一篇关于死得好的艺术的布道，在一个焦虑的时期，这篇布道采用了一个老生常谈的主题。这位修士处理主题的创新之处在于，他坚持图像的重要性，使死亡的现实更加生动。在布道过程中，他描述了听众每天早上醒来时应该放在卧室里思考的三张照片。为了确保公众能够获得这些图像，其中许多人买不起绘画，萨沃纳罗拉（在1496年11月27日传教时）敦促将他关于死亡艺术的布道付印，并附上他所描述的三幅图像的木刻本版萨沃纳罗拉讲道的扉页上装饰着一幅《死亡的胜利》木刻，该木刻首次用于1499年佛罗伦萨版的彼特拉克的《胜利》。各个年龄段和各行各业的人都被死神战车的车轮压垮了。在背景中，在左边，魔鬼带走了被诅咒者的灵魂，而在右边，被祝福者的灵魂被天使运送到天堂。
介绍（英）	The sermon of the influential Dominican preacher Savonarola on the art of dying well, delivered on November 2, 1496, took up a well-worn theme during an anxious time. What was innovative about the friar's approach to his subject was his insistence on the importance of images to make the reality of death more vivid. In the course of the sermon, he described three pictures that the audience should keep in their bedrooms and contemplate each morning when they awoke. In order to ensure the accessibility of these images to the public, many of whom could not afford paintings, Savonarola urged (while preaching on November 27, 1496) that his sermon on the art of dying be put into print and that it be accompanied by woodcuts of the three images he had described. The title page to this edition of Savonarola's sermon is adorned with a woodcut of the Triumph of Death, first used in a 1499 Florentine edition of Petrarch's 'Trionfi'. Individuals of all ages and walks of life are crushed beneath the wheels of Death's chariot. In the background, at left, devils carry off the souls of the damned, while at right the souls of the blessed are transported up to heaven by angels.
