vanitas
noun (vanitates ) art a type of still-life picture, produced mainly by 17c Dutch artists, in which symbolic motifs such as skulls, hourglasses and old books feature as reminders of the vanity of earthly pleasures and the transience of human life and aspirations.
[Early 20c in this sense; 16c as an exclamation of disillusionment or pessimism: from a phrase in the Vulgate (Eccles. 1.2): vanitas vanitatum , omnia vanitas vanity of vanities, all is vanity]
