Pseudo-Roestraten, Attrib. (c.1700)Still life with carpet, porcelain, books and "memento more"Oil on canvas192x217 cm Still-live with rug, books and “memento mori”This painting, which we are presenting for sale at auction, features a composition that includes various objects dispersed on a table covered by a rug.In paintings, rugs are depicted to emphasise settings in which a significant episode is taking place. As an example, it is on a rug that Christian Saints are often portrayed and, it is also on rugs that some of the most relevant iconographic scenes, such as the Annunciation, unfold.From the 17th century onwards, rugs do also appear represented in secular contexts, within which they reflect concepts of opulence, exoticism, luxury, wealth, and social status. Although their early enjoyment was solely warranted to society’s most powerful and wealthiest, such as royalty and aristocracy, as the bourgeoisie’s economic power developed, oriental rugs did become conspicuous features in merchants and wealthy bourgeois portraits.In the late 17th and early 18th centuries, the relevance of rugs depictions in paintings diminishes considerably, simultaneously with the decreasing focus on the representation of details.Regarding the lot herein described, we highlight the presence of a rug covered table, over which is arranged a composition with various objects symbolizing a memento mori - Latin expression literally meaning “remember you must die” – that alludes to the levelling effect of death on earthly luxuries.The books, the papers, the writing implements, and the eyeglasses dispersed on the table are, in this context, a reference to studying, knowledge, and business. But they also emerge as an allegory to human effort interrupted by the exhaustion of life’s hourglass. The ceramic vase, in a reference to wine, symbolizes love, passion, seduction, and romantic conquests. Finally, the teapot, and the various Chinese porcelain objects resting on the table, reflect both the relaxing tea drinking activity, as well as the social status that such objects embody.They are all, nonetheless, objects discarded in the implacable passing of time, assuming as such the role of allusions to transience, to the void of riches and possessions, and to the cessation and emptiness of earthly life.Lastly a harp, visible in the background, an angelical instrument that symbolizes harmony and God’s praise, and which can be assumed as a link between heaven and earth, as if its strings become the figurative steps of a staircase that leads to eternal life.The vanitas meaning is equally reinforced by the skull and the hourglass resting over the books in the foreground.Tiago Franco RodriguesLiterature: Willigen, Adriaan van der (1926-2001); Meijer, Fred G.“A dictionary of Dutch and Flemish still-life painters working in oils : 1525-1725”, 2003, p.227.
