ITALIAN SCHOOL OF THE END OF THE 17th OR... - Lot 80 - Osenat
ITALIAN SCHOOL OF THE END OF THE 17th OR BEGINNING OF THE 19th CENTURY Vanity Skull and attributes in patinated terracotta on a gilded wood quadripod base. Total size : 32 x 31 x 27 cm. bears an illegible inscription in a cartouche. Human feeling, intimate and primary, the awareness of the brevity of life emanates from all forms of expression. The vanities, allegories of death, also called memento mori, "remember that you are going to die", are the embodiment of this concern. Our terracotta skull, accompanied by a rosary and a snake, resting on a piece of rococo furniture, is typical of these representations.
