Unknown, 17th century - Vanitas Still Life - fine art print

Artwork description as provided by the museum (© - Nationalmuseum Stockholm - www.nationalmuseum.se)

English: An allegory of the transience of human existence and the vanity of ambition, art and worldly knowledge, this painting combines a variety of symbolic motifs alluding to the inexorable passage of time - skulls and bones, an hourglass, books and precious objects. As moral and religious metaphors, the objects exhort the viewer to moderation in the enjoyment of earthly possessions and pleasures. The artist’s virtuoso depiction of inanimate objects, using chiaroscuro effects to underscore their plastic qualities, allowed him to flaunt his skill at optically reproducing reality. Målningen är en allegori över livets förgänglighet och fåfängan i den mänskliga ambitionen, i konsten och vetenskapen. Här avbildas en rad föremål som symboliserar tidens obönhörliga gång – kranier och benknotor, timglas, böcker och kostbara föremål. Som metaforer med moraliskt och religiöst innehåll uppmanar de betraktaren att iaktta måtta i sinnliga ting och njutningar. I sin virtuosa gestaltning av föremålen, vars volymer framhävs genom starka kontraster mellan ljus och mörker, briljerar konstnären med sin skicklighet att efterlikna verkligheten.
