Annibale Carracci Death Picture Sleep Unmarked
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece titled "Sleep, a picture of death" by Annibale Carracci. Measuring 114 x 144.5 cm, this oil on canvas artwork is a hauntingly beautiful representation of mortality and the ephemeral nature of life. The unmarked canvas allows viewers to immerse themselves in the artist's vision without any distractions. The inscription plate bears the Latin phrase "Mortis Imago Sopor, Velvt Amnis Labitvr Aetas, Vix Formae Reliqvvm, Pvlvis Et Ossa Manent" which translates to "Sleep, like a river flowing through time; only dust and bones remain from beauty". These words add an additional layer of depth to the painting's contemplation on human existence. Annibale Carracci was an Italian painter born in Bologna in 1560 and passed away in Rome in 1609. He was renowned for his skillful use of color and composition, as evident in this thought-provoking piece. The artist masterfully captures both the vulnerability and serenity that sleep brings while alluding to its inevitable connection with death. This print from Liszt Collection serves as a powerful reminder of our own mortality and invites us to reflect upon the transient nature of life's beauty. It is not merely a commercial item but rather an artistic treasure that can be appreciated for its profound message throughout generations.
