EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "All is Vanity" by English School, 20th century, takes us on a surreal journey into the depths of human vanity and the illusions we create. The image showcases a young girl sitting at a dressing table adorned with flowers, makeup, and beauty products. As she gazes into the mirror, her reflection reveals not only her face but also an eerie skull symbolizing death. The composition cleverly incorporates optical illusions as the mirror reflects a candle that appears to be floating in mid-air. The chair she sits on stands alone, emphasizing her solitary pursuit of artificial beauty and pride. This thought-provoking piece explores themes of illusion and artificiality prevalent throughout history. The postcard-like quality adds a touch of nostalgia to this historical artwork. It serves as a reminder that our obsession with appearance has persisted through time. Through this image, we are confronted with our own mortality and reminded of the fleeting nature of physical beauty. "All is Vanity" invites viewers to question their own relationship with vanity and reflect upon the seven deadly sins it represents - pride being one among them. Bridgeman Images beautifully captures this timeless artwork from a private collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its depth and symbolism without commercial intent or use mentioned here.
