About the piece
Painted in 1656 by Jan Gerritsz van Bronckhorst, this allegorical work personifies Time as a dignified, elderly winged man. He carries the classic symbols of his office—an hourglass to measure passing moments and a scythe to signify mortality—all set against a luminous backdrop of billowing clouds and clear blue sky.
