Death comes to pick up the beauty IPSA ADEO MORTI VEL FORMOSISSIMA CEDUNT Emblemata Saecularia, 1596. Everything, even beauty, has to die someday: death, in the guise of a skeleton, stands next to an elegant lady with a flower in her hand, in front of a garden with pergola. He holds out his hourglass to her and leads her into an embrace. by Johann Theodor de Bry, after Crispijn van de Passe, 1596. A digitally optimised version of an historical ilustration.
