EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Boy with a skull and hourglass in a landscape" we are transported to the intriguing world of vanitas symbolism. Created by Paulus van Wtewael and Hans Liefrinck (II) in 1570, this piece beautifully captures the essence of life's transience. The image depicts a young boy seated at the foot of a tree, holding an hourglass and resting his hand on a skull. The surrounding landscape showcases a serene river flowing through a quaint village, while ominous devils and demons fly through the air above. The Latin inscription "omnia tempvs habent svvm" reminds us that all things have their time. Enclosed within an oval frame, this print exudes an aura of mystery and contemplation. Every detail has been carefully crafted, from the delicate figures scattered throughout the scene to the artist's signature discreetly placed on a board. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of our own mortality and urged to reflect upon life's fleeting nature. It serves as both a warning against earthly attachments and an invitation to embrace each passing moment with gratitude. Quint Lox has masterfully captured not only the visual beauty but also the profound meaning behind this iconic piece from Liszt Collection.
