The following pieces of morbid art are by Nicola Samori, a 35 year old Italian artist. He says “My work stems from fear: fear of the body, of death, of men. I think my nature as an artist is something like feeling hopeless. Works are just temporary shelters and painting is a leisure place where you can conceal yourself.”

Arch of Constantine, Rome, before 1871

Attic black-figure skyphos (two-handled wine-cup), decorated with chariots, Amazons, and Sphinxes.  Artist unknown; ca. 525-475 BCE.  Now in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

This back was made separately and attached to the mirror. On the other side, incised decoration surrounded the polished bronze reflecting surface. An incised Aeolic capital decorated the top of the tang, which would have slotted into a handle made from another material.
