Ingmar Bergman: Playing chess with death

A church painting from late 15th century depicting a man playing chess with death. The painting which is found in Täby church in Sweden was made by a painter or rather a painting company lead by a man they called Albertus Pictor.

This was of course one of the major sources of inspiration for Bergman's world famous image of Death.

An old post, another parody.
