17th century youth: ‘Ahhh I love looking at a painting where a lady has her boob out. I feel great and will live forever.’
Artist: ‘But look closer… in the corner…’
Youth: ‘Wait is that… A SKULL? OH SHIT! I JUST REMEMBERED I’LL DIE ONE DAY!’
Artist: ‘Ahahahaha owned.’
Vanitas painting in a nutshell. Memento mori.
