Figura Obscura The Masque of the Red Death Figure 2023 Four Horsemen 36248

Death comes for everyone. Riches and power and noble birth mean little to the cold embrace of the grave. In death all are equal, and none can escape its touch.

First published in 1842, Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" relates the tale of a horrible plague that has brought bloody death to the land. Ignoring the plight of the less fortunate souls suffering around them, Prince Prospero and 1000 fellow nobles retreat to the Prince's abbey in order to wait out the plague amidst the luxury that their lofty stations afford them.

With the doors of the abbey welded shut, the revelers believe they are safe from the horrors taking place outside their walls. They are so sure of their safety that Prince Prospero decides to hold a masquerade ball in 7 rooms of his abbey. Each of these rooms is decorated in a specific color blue, purple, green, orange, white, and violet. The final room is black, illuminated with a scarlet light that casts a blood-like glow about the room. Few revelers choose to venture into the ominous space of this final room, which also features a large ebony clock that chimes at the top of each hour. As soon as the clock begins to sound, all music and conversation at the party ceases, only to resume once the chimes are silent again.

As the black clock tolls midnight, a red-robed figure enters the ball. A crimson-hued skull mask adorns his face, a chilling reminder of the bloody plague that the party-goers have sought to hide from.
