Crucifiction fresco on the Church of San Vigilio in Pinzolo, part of its mural painting &ldquo;the Dance of Death&rdquo; painted by Simone Baschenis of Averaria in1539, Pinzolo, Trentino, Italy.<br />
<br />
The mural continues for another 21 meters with a long procession with 40 figures. The Mural opens on its left with a skeleton on the throne, bearing a sceptre and the crown and playing a bagpipe. These skeletons are playing the music which is the backdrop to &ldquo;Dance of Death&rdquo; ( Danza macabra ) and suggests that they are playing with our fate on earth.<br />
<br />
 To the right of the skeletons playing music is a depiction of the crucification. Christ is depicted on the cross with an arrow in him that has been fired by a skeleton with a bow. This suggests that because Christ was a man he suffered the fate of death as we all will.
