Vanitas painting by Adriaen van Nieulandt, 1636, showing a skull with a fly perched on the head, with a bone lying next to it. There are withering flowers in a vase, a few petals have already fallen. There are coins, a shell, and pearls, a stack of books, and a butterfly.

#MementoMoriMonday
Vanitas, Adriaen van Nieulandt, 1636. Dying flowers, a fly on a skull, books and treasures--with emphatic mottos: "Equid sunt aliud, quam breve gaudium?": What are these other than a brief joy? "mourir pour vivre": Die to live
