"A Vanitas Still Life With An Adder In A Pestle And Mortar, A Sculpted Head, An Astrolobe" is an oil-on-canvas painting by the 17th-century Italian painter Antonio Cioci also known as Ciocchi. While there isn't a definitive record of the exact year of its creation, it is typically attributed to the Baroque period, a time when vanitas were popular themes in the realm of visual arts.

The painting embodies the transience of life and inevitable human mortality - a common theme in vanitas art of the era. The central object is a pestle and mortar, within which lies an adder, a common symbol of poison and death. Adjacent is a sculpted head, signifying the ephemeral nature of beauty, and an astrolabe, a navigational tool for the skies, reflecting the mysteries of life and universe.

Cioci’s play with light and shadow gives the painting its dramatic effect, typical of Caravaggio's influence on Baroque art. It intensifies the chiaroscuro, providing a dramatic contrast that emphasises symbolic objects.

Though Antonio Cioci is not as well-known as his contemporaries, this work offers a glimpse into his masterful treatment of objects and their underlying symbolic representation. This enigmatic piece invites viewers to contemplate on the precariousness, vanity, and ultimately, the transience of human life and accomplishments.
