Painting - Acrylic Paint On Stretched Canvas
Description
This painting is done in the Dutch seventeenth-century style and contains references to the ephemeral nature of earthly existence. In this style, artists often depicted skulls, wilted flowers, hourglasses, leftover food, and snuffed candles to remind their public of the transience of life. Costly objects, like jewelry or pretty clothes, mirrors and books referred to as vanitas, were also popular features highlighting the temporary nature of beauty, wealth and wisdom. These vanitas (or vanities) symbols were frequently depicted in Still Life Paintings as well as occasional scenes and portraits. My painting, Transience of Life, is intended to encourage viewers to do something useful with their lives and to place less value on worldly pleasures.
