(noun) - A vanitas painting was a particular type of still life immensely popular in the Netherlands (and Paris, to a lesser extent), beginning in the 17th century.The phrase comes to us courtesy of a Biblical passage in Ecclesiastes, in which the Hebrew word hevel was incorrectly taken to mean vanity of vanities. vanitas painting, while possibly containing lovely objects, always included some reference to man's mortality-most often a human skull (with or without other bones), but also by way of burning candles, soap bubbles or decaying flowers.
