Question: How many times did the plague occur where the creator of The Entombment died?

In 1466, perhaps 40,000 people died of the plague in Paris. During the 16th and 17th centuries, the plague was present in Paris around 30 per cent of the time. The Black Death ravaged Europe for three years before it continued on into Russia, where the disease was present somewhere in the country 25 times between 1350 to 1490. Plague epidemics ravaged London in 1563, 1593, 1603, 1625, 1636, and 1665, reducing its population by 10 to 30% during those years. Plague occurred in Venice 22 times between 1361 and 1528. Over 10% of Amsterdam's population died in 1623–25, and again in 1635–36, 1655, and 1664. The plague of 1576–77 killed 50,000 in Venice, almost a third of the population. Late outbreaks in central Europe included the Italian Plague of 1629–1631, which is associated with troop movements during the Thirty Years' War, and the Great Plague of Vienna in 1679. Over 60% of Norway's population died in 1348–50. The last plague outbreak ravaged Oslo in 1654. <SEP> In this painting, Tizian uses the mature style characterized by the use of broad brushwork and brilliant colours. The Entombment is a 1559 painting by Titian, commissioned by Philip II of Spain. The figure holding Christ body is Nicodemus, the Jewish elder that secretly visited Jesus at night to learn about his teachings. The figure of Nicodemus bears the traits of the artist himself. This could have been inspired by Michelangelo's idea in his unfinished Pietà from 1550, depicting himself as Nicodemus, supporting the body of Christ displayed in the Cathedral in Florence. The stone sarcophagus where Christ body is placed is decorated with depictions of Cain and Abel and the Sacrifice of Isaac - themes that according to the Christian faith predicted the sacrifice of Jesus. <SEP> the 2010 elazığ earthquake was a 6.1 m earthquake that occurred on 8 march 2010 at 02:32 utc (04:32 local time). the epicentre was başyurt in elazığ province, in eastern turkey. initial reports in global media said as many as 57 people had died. by 10 march, reports in the turkish media placed the death toll at 41 and later, the death toll rose to 42. another 74 were injured, many after falling and jumping from buildings. a stampede through the streets led to further injuries. <SEP> the black death is thought to have originated in the arid plains of central asia, where it then travelled along the silk road, reaching crimea by 1343. from there, it was most likely carried by oriental rat fleas living on the black rats that were regular passengers on merchant ships. spreading throughout the mediterranean and europe, the black death is estimated to have killed 30 -- 60% of europe's total population. in total, the plague may have reduced the world population from an estimated 450 million down to 350 -- 375 million in the 14th century. the world population as a whole did not recover to pre-plague levels until the 17th century. the plague recurred occasionally in europe until the 19th century. <SEP> It so impressed Philip II of Spain that he commissioned a second version in 1567 for the basilica at El Escorial. The Martyrdom of Saint Lawrence is a 1558 painting by Titian, now in the church of I Gesuiti in Venice.
