About The Work

The skull, an iconic figure of Vanitas’ painting, is at the forefront of the work. In many of his skull works, the skull and a spider web. The skull, which appears to be a priest giving a homily, is centered around eight hands, the number eight being a symbol of Jesus Christ. These hands are taken from the artist’s left and right hands, only angled differently.
