"Vanitas Vanitatum et Omnia Vanitas" is a notable still-life painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Evert Collier, created in 1665. As a vanitas painting, a genre that flourished in the Netherlands in the 17th century, it serves as a memento mori, reminding viewers of the transience of life, the futility of pleasure, and the certainty of death. The Latin title translates to "Vanity of vanities; all is vanity," a reference to a verse from the biblical Book of Ecclesiastes, which reflects on the meaninglessness of earthly life and the ephemeral nature of all human pursuits.

Collier's work is emblematic of the vanitas genre, often rich with symbolism. Typical of his style, "Vanitas Vanitatum et Omnia Vanitas" likely features an array of objects that hold symbolic meaning—such as skulls, which represent mortality; soap bubbles, symbolizing the brevity of life; extinguished candles, indicating the end of life; and books or musical instruments, suggesting the vanity of knowledge and pleasure when faced with the inevitability of death. The painting would also exhibit Collier's meticulous attention to detail and his skill in rendering materials and textures, contributing to the work's contemplative and moralizing effect.

Evert Collier specialized in this type of painting and was known for his trompe-l'œil works, which play with the viewer's perception through the illusion of three-dimensionality. "Vanitas Vanitatum et Omnia Vanitas" not only serves as a reflection on mortality but also showcases Collier's technical prowess and his ability to engage viewers in a deeper consideration of life's fleeting nature.

As an important work within Collier's oeuvre and the vanitas tradition, "Vanitas Vanitatum et Omnia Vanitas" is a significant piece for the study of Northern European Baroque art and the cultural and philosophical preoccupations of the 17th-century Dutch Republic. The painting is a testament to the era's artistic achievements and its enduring philosophical inquiries into the human condition.
