The Lemonade Vanitas

The Lemonade Vanitas!
My third classic vanitas still life in a modern edition 😀

Vanitas symbols:
- Glass symbolizes impermanence. Glass transparency represents virtue and virginity.
- Empty glass vessels put next to full ones are a symbol of death.
- Fruits depict wealth, which is not permanent.
- Lemons are a sign of luxury, but because of their flavor, they also speak of moderation and virtue.
- Skull represents death and transience 🙃
- Crown describes the passing of the order of the temporal world.
- Flies symbolize the shortness of life.

Stay safe everyone and memento mori ☠️
