JACQUES DE GHEYN II. Vanitas Still Life

Vanitas Still Life. Artist: Jacques de Gheyn II (Netherlandish, Antwerp 1565-1629 The Hague). Dimensions: 32 1/2 x 21 1/4 in. (82.6 x 54 cm). Date: 1603. De Gheyn was a wealthy amateur who is best known as a brilliant draftsman, but he also painted and engraved. This panel is generally considered to be the earliest known independent still life painting of a <i>vanitas</i> subject. The skull, large bubble, cut flowers, and smoking urn refer to the brevity of life, while images floating in the bubble--such as a wheel of torture and a leper's rattle--Spanish coins, and a Dutch medal refer to human folly. The figures flanking the arch above are Democritus and Heraclitus, the laughing and weeping philosophers of ancient Greece.
