Plague

A surprising amount of art in the Middle Ages was preoccupied with the various plagues to which they were subject.  Our current-day plagues may be different in some ways but are still present. We should constantly remind ourselves that all things, even those we consider to be "bad," ultimately come from God and therefore can be used by Him for our purification and edification.
