When Death Plays Beth Harmon...

 "And when the Lamb had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour"

The Seventh Seal, 1957

One of the pivotal scene from Ingmar Bergman's great film 'The Seventh Seal' was inspired by
a medieval church painting:

 'Death playing chess' by Albertus Pictor (1440-1507). 

Location: Täby kyrka, Diocese of Stockholm.
