Allegory of The Transience of Life (via Kintzertorium)
“A vaulted tomb with a decomposing skeleton wearing a tattered shroud and a snake in its moth and eye socket; above within a Gothic arch is Moses holding the Tablets of the Law with the ten commandments; with three skulls in frontal and sideways positions.
Meditations on the transience of life were common subjects for printmakers during the fifteenth century. They reminded the viewer that all earthly glories and ambitions are futile, that Death is the final arbiter and one’s actions on earth have repercussions for the afterlife. This engraving is a particularly confronting treatment of the subject. In the centre, Moses holds the Tablets of the Law to emphasise that the Ten Commandments are the only true guide to salvation. Below in a tomb, a corpse decomposes and turns into a skeleton. All of the inscribed banderoles reinforce the central theme. “
