Answer 1

The "Triumph of Death" in the Camposanto in Pisa depicts a scene that serves as an allegory for the inevitability of death. It shows various figures in different states of mortality—some are dead, some are dying, and others are in despair. It does not specifically depict figures overcoming the Black Plague, nor does it represent a panoramic landscape of death. Therefore, the correct answer would be:

d. none of the above.
