Description

Español: Esta obra, junto con la que lleva por título Finis Gloriae Mundi , le fue encargada a Juan de Valdés Leal para ser colocada en el sotocoro del Hospital de la Caridad de Sevilla , y al igual que en las pinturas del género Vanitas , aluden a la banalidad de la vida terrena y a la universalidad de la muerte, aunque también quedan unidas con el fin primordial de la Hermandad de la Caridad de Sevilla , que era el de enterrar a los ajusticiados e indigentes de la ciudad, al igual que otras hermandades similares existentes en España en esa época.

English: This work, along with the one titled Finis Gloriae Mundi , was commissioned from Juan de Valdés Leal to be placed in the sotocoro (under-choir entryway) of the Hospital de la Caridad in Seville, and, as in the paintings of the Vanitas genre, they allude to the banality of earthly life and the universality of death, although they are also united with the primary purpose of the Brotherhood of Charity of Seville, which was to bury the executed and indigent of the city, like other similar existing brotherhoods in Spain at that time.
