Abstract:

 Vanities are allegorical representations that have been around for centuries, yet they raise universal and timeless ontological questions of burning relevance today. This artistic sensibility, which makes death its central motif, also addresses themes of time, beauty, the body, wealth, and the meaning of life—complex and interconnected themes that touch and challenge us. This contribution brings this pictorial experience back into the spotlight. It explores emblematic paintings of the Vanity genre and offers a thorough and constructive analysis. It decodes the hidden meanings of the depicted elements and reveals the moral messages embedded in their arrangement. Our reflection also offers a profound and enlightening perspective on these paintings—a perception that calls upon Stoic wisdom and the subtlety of modern thinkers, through which the art of Vanity rises to the level of an existential key that can clear the path to a serene and meaningful life. Keywords: memento mori, tulipomania, temperance, stoicism, vanity.
