Description |
Vanitas still life showing a skeleton standing among wordly goods such as books, armour, crowns and a globe, warning of the immediacy of death and fleeting nature of life as death could come at any time. The skeleton snuffs out a candle and the warning "in the Blink of an Eye" is written near the candle. Careful details in a dark work that shows the influence of Caravaggio and the southern Baroque style in Spain. |
