Vanitas

Vanitas
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanitas-Stillleben

Vanitas still lifes, a favourite subject of 16th/17th century artists, depict symbolic objects meant to highlight mortality, the fragility and transience of human life, the emptiness and meaninglessness of worldly possessions.

(Oil painting effect added with PS Elements)

Herzlichen Dank, Tanja! Haha, es erinnert schon dran...;-) Aber wenn man Staffage für so ein Stilleben braucht, nimmt man das billigste Teil, das man findet- zum Eierkochen brauche ich sowas nicht;-)

Great old master style! The themes depicted are spooky, but realistic for the times. The meaningless of worldly possessions is something we should all think about. So much individual and corporate greed.

Many thanks, Gillian! During the time Vanitas still lifes came up there was so much war in Central Europe (30 years of nonstop war with marauding mercenaries and the plague on top of it) so it was little wonder artists reacted.
These days the reaction of most is burying their heads in the sand....

A nicely put together still life image Gudrun, you have captured the light and the mood very well. I like the painting effect too. Very well done!
