∙ 13y agoA painting that's meant to make you think of death, or the limitations of human life, and human power.
It depicted often things that will wither or die, or that symbolize death (like a skull, or a candle that's almost burned up). Rich dutch people had it (17th century) to remind them about the seriousness of life, that one should think of more than to just have pleasure.
