A seated woodcut skeleton holds a ripe peach beneath radiating sunbeams and wildflowers, captioned Life has a 100% mortality rate.
The picture belongs to an old family. Memento mori is Latin for remember you must die, and in the seventeenth century Dutch painters made a genre of it called vanitas: still lifes of skulls, snuffed candles and wine, named from the line in Ecclesiastes about vanity. People wore the reminder too, as rings and lockets. The peach is ours.
• For dry wits, realists, and anyone who prefers an honest memento mori to hollow optimism.
• Bare bone against one ripe peach.
