Description
Life is short, and shortly it will end;
Death comes quickly and respects no one,
Death destroys everything and takes pity on no one.
To death we are hastening, let us refrain from sinning.
-Virelai ad mortem festinamus of the Catalan Llibre Vermell de Montserrat from 1399
This gallery contains art that explores the theme of "Memento Mori," a Latin phrase that means "Remember you must die." It is a genre of art that has been around for centuries and encompasses a wide range of styles and subjects, but all of these works share the same goal: to remind us of our mortality.
