The poem London reminds me of the epidemic disease plague that happened in Europe that wiped out one of third population. By the middle of 1348, the Black Death had struck Paris, Bordeaux, Lyon and London. The art work that I researched on line and related to the poem of “London” was created by Carlo Cesi. The “Saint Carlo Borromeo among the Plague Sufferers” has related to the poem in many ways from color, objects and facial expression.

The scene of the city London is gloomy, sorrow, with the depressed of people who are still alive but endless cadavers were too many to be buried and have to be burned in order to prevent the plague spread out. The sketch of the art work has largely cooperated with earth neutral color such as white, gray and brown makes atmosphere down and depressing.

The charcoal wall in the center reminds me of the excerpt of the poem of London; “How the Chimney-sweeper’s cry. Every blackening Church appall;” The corpse that lay on the street was cover with cloth and blacken wall makes the theme for audience to visualized the intensity and severe of the plague disease.

The man who stands on the left of the painting; his eyes was hollow with tears in his left cheek with mouth half opened as he wants his voice and pray can be hear by God. With the hope and fear by holding the Cross, we can feel the eerie tone from William Black and vivid image by Carlo Cesi throughout the poem and painting.
