The oratory of the Disciplines Clusone is located in Val Seriana. It was the seat of the brotherhood of Discipline or disciplines. A congregation, active in the area of \u200b\u200bBergamo, during the Middle Ages, consisting of lay people for their salvation embraced a life of prayer and penance.
L 'building has a simple architecture, enriched in the outer wall of the facade from a series of frescoes, paintings on three registers, the work of James de Borlone Buschis.
The theme of "Triumph of Death" occupies the upper part, to his left, in the Register, is painted "the meeting of the three dead and three alive." In the middle register is the "Dance of Death" in the lower register and "The Last Judgement."
This iconography, a ghoulish character, is known in less than three hundred works, produced mainly in the 'Franco-German area and in the Alps.
During the literature search on the cycle of frescoes by Clusone I have identified the following issues nineteenth and early twentieth century, probably the only published and certainly the most desired by collectors
