Description
Español: La obra representa a un caballero del siglo XVII vestido con la indumentaria de la época y dormido mientras un ángel le muestra el carácter efímero de los placeres, las riquezas, los honores y la gloria. El ángel le muestra el jeroglífico de la fecha sobre el sol, que hiere, vuela raudo y mata. El conjunto de objetos situados sobre la mesa constituye un auténtico bodegón en el que se establece una condensación de símbolos y alegorías. Los símbolos de la mesa son muy complejos, pero destacan algunos por su presencia continua en todas las "vanitas": la calavera que simboliza la muerte, la máscara de teatro sobre la hipocresía, las joyas y el dinero que son las riquezas que no podemos llevar al otro mundo, la baraja y las armas como el juego y los placeres de la caza, el reloj que indica el paso inexorable del tiempo, la vela apagada que indica la extinción de la vida... son innumerables los objetos y los múltiples significados engarzados que podemos entresacar de todos ellos. El pintor ha representado un "corpus" de los objetos de la vanidad del mundo y de su sin sentido tratados con una definición magistral que los individualiza como forma de acentuar, a través de lo real, la presencia de su carácter didáctico, alegórico y moral.

The author died in 1678, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
