"A Vanitas Still Life with an Hour Glass, a Skull and Crossbones, a Scroll, Two Books, Music Scores, a Flute, a Violin, a Sheet of Paper Inscribed 'Memento Mori...', an Incense Burner, Another Sheet of Paper Inscribed 'Vanitas Vanitatum et Omnia Vanitas'" is a poignant and symbolic painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Edwaert Collier. This work, as suggested by its extensive title, is a classic example of the vanitas genre, which flourished in the 16th and 17th centuries, particularly in the Netherlands. Vanitas paintings are characterized by their inclusion of various objects that serve as memento mori, or reminders of the inevitability of death and the transience of earthly achievements and pleasures.

Collier's painting is a rich tableau of such objects, each meticulously rendered to convey a message about the fleeting nature of life. The hourglass and skull are traditional emblems of mortality, underscoring the relentless passage of time and the certainty of death. The crossbones further emphasize this theme. The scroll and books may represent human knowledge and achievements, which, despite their value, cannot prevent the decay that time brings. The inclusion of music scores, a flute, and a violin suggests the ephemeral nature of music and by extension, joy, which, like life itself, is beautiful yet transient.

The inscribed sheets of paper with the phrases "Memento Mori" and "Vanitas Vanitatum et Omnia Vanitas" (translated as "Remember you must die" and "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity," respectively) are direct textual reminders of the work's contemplative message. These inscriptions, along with the incense burner, which may symbolize the soul's ascent to heaven or the brevity of life (as incense smoke quickly dissipates), invite the viewer to reflect on the impermanence of worldly pursuits.

Edwaert Collier, active in the late 17th century, was known for his skillful still life compositions that often contained moral or philosophical themes. "A Vanitas Still Life with an Hour Glass, a Skull and Crossbones, a Scroll, Two Books, Music Scores, a Flute, a Violin, a Sheet of Paper Inscribed 'Memento Mori...', an Incense Burner, Another Sheet of Paper Inscribed 'Vanitas Vanitatum et Omnia Vanitas'" is a testament to his mastery of the genre and serves as a powerful artistic meditation on the human condition.
