Spring Rivals Art

Spring Rivals ArtOil on canvas framed 1050mm x 790mm From Patsy's series NEW SHOOTS OF THE VANITAS (ACT 2) To engage with my work an understanding of the Vanitas is useful. The Vanitas was a genre of still life painting practiced in the Netherlands in the early 17th century. Vanity is the English translation. "A Vanitas painting contains collections of objects symbolic of the inevitability of death and the transience and vanity of earthly achievements and pleasures"
