Natureza Morta com Livros (Still Life with Books) - Jan Davidszoon de Heem
Rijksmuseum Amsterdã
Óleo sobre madeira -26x41 - 1625-1630
Grey and brown tints dominate
this composition, and a shadow spreads slowly over the wall. The painting
alludes to the fleetingness of life. The battered books allude to transience.
The music produced by the lute is momentary, a symbol of the brevity of life. A
literal reference to death is inscribed on the sheet of paper draped over the
table’s edge: ‘finis’ ([the] end).
