Scuola Italiana - Memento Mori

Original work of art by Memento Mori, painted in oil on a terracotta tile.
Probably made in the mid-20th century, it comes from a Southern Italian church.
It is unsigned.
A human skull and two bones are depicted, with the Latin inscription MORS (death) above, symbols that remind humans of the brevity of life and its inevitable end.
The quality of the painting is remarkable, as can be seen from the photos; the light and chiaroscuro effects are very beautiful.
Attention, the artwork shows the inevitable signs of age, but there is no serious damage that ruins its beauty.
