J Falk, 1629 - Vanitas Still Life - fine art print

General description as provided by the museum (© - Indianapolis Museum of Art - Indianapolis Museum of Art)

Popular among the Dutch, vanitas still life painting is based on the theme of death's inevitability. The symbolic meaning of the skull is obvious, while the rose and the oil lamp both serve as metaphors of life's brevity and fragility. The meaning is underscored by the Latin inscription: "All that is human is smoke, shadow, vanity and the picture of a stage."
