Memento mori is a Latin phrase translated as “Remember your mortality”, “Remember you must die” or “Remember you will die”. It refers to a genre of artworks that vary widely but which all share the same purpose: to remind people of their mortality, an artistic theme dating back to antiquity.
Philippe de Champaigne’s Vanitas (c. 1671) is reduced to three essentials: Life, Death, and Time
