Oil painting on canvas interpreting A Vanitas Still Life with Parrot by Jacob Marrel.
A Vanitas is a still life artwork which includes various symbolic objects designed to remind the viewer of their mortality and of the worthlessness of worldly goods and pleasures. The original artwork by Marrel included a skull and black beetles which have been removed in this interpretation.
Jacob Marrell (1614-1681) was a Dutch artist, apprenticed to the Frankfurt still-life artist Georg Flegel, and his earliest known works date from 1634. He was active in the northern Netherlands as well as Germany and is known to have spent time in Utrecht where he not only painted, but dealt in art and in flower bulbs.
