VANITASKS4

In the arts,Vanitas is a type of symbolic work of art especially associated with still life painting in the Netherlands in the 16th and 17th centuries, though also common in other places and periods. The

Latin word means "vanity" and loosely

translated corresponds to the meaninglessness of earthly life and the transient nature of all earthly goods and pursuits.
