Vanités : une invitation à jouir et à se réjouir ?
Journal Title: Quêtes littéraires - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 8
Abstract
"Vanitas: an encouragement to enjoy and rejoice?" ABSTRACT: Although a distinction between a Still life and a Vanitas painting could rest upon their respective mode of reception: iconographic for the former, iconological for the latter, the interpretation of Vanitas remains highly problematic. In direct opposition to its intended message of repudiation of earthly goods, the Vanitas runs always the risk to be perceived as an incitement to enjoy and rejoice. Tempus fugit? Therefore, carpe diem instead of memento mori.
