Sculpture in the Vanitas genre.
Allegorical composition, the center of which is a skull.
The skull is a reminder of the inevitability of death. The viewer perceives it as his "reflection". The skull is a symbol of the frailty of human life, the futility of pleasures and the fleeting nature of material goods.
In the Vanitas genre, in addition to the skull, other attributes of death and the frailty of human life are used. In this composition a rose is used. Rose is a flower of Venus, a symbol of love and sex, which is vain, as everything inherent in man.
Vanitas is a genre of art of the Baroque era. It is characteristic of the art of International Mannerism.
