Vanitas Flower Collection : The Art of Dutch Golden Age Flower Still Life 127 This book introduces the fascinating genre of Vanitas Flower paintings, which emerged in the Dutch Golden Age of the 16th and 17th centuries. These paintings depict various flowers that symbolize the transience of beauty, the futility of worldly pleasures, and the vanity of human achievements. The term Vanitas comes from the Latin phrase "Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities, all is vanity", which begins the Book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible.
