not to be an alarmist

Thanks @plaguepoems for prompting me to look up this remarkable image, 'The Triumph of Death' from a manuscript of Petrarch's Triumphs dated c.1503-5, https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b60007856/f277.item

Petrarch's beloved Laura died in 1348 during the first onslaught of plague; his son John in 1361 during the second.

Antonio Moro and the Somachio

Antonio Moro came to Venice in January 1593 to work at the Lazzaretto Nuovo, where he left us a very interesting message on the wall.
