About the piece
Created by Hendrick Andriessen around 1600, this vanitas still life is a profound meditation on the transience of life. The work features a human skull paired with a delicate rose and a flickering oil lamp, rendered with the deep shadows and luminous highlights characteristic of the Golden Age. The archival composition is set within a dark niche, lending the piece a dramatic, scholarly presence.
