Italian school (XX) - Memento Mori

Beautiful painting titled 'Memento Mori', executed in oil on a plywood panel, probably in the mid-20th century, originating from ecclesiastical circles in Salento (Southern Italy).
It is signed with initials and comes with its original gilded wood frame.
The indicated measurement refers to the artwork with frame; the painting alone measures 18 x 24 cm.
A skull and a rose that is beginning to wither are depicted, symbols that remind man of the brevity of life and its inevitable end, but with the hope of resurrection.
The quality of the painting is very high, as you can see from the photos.
Attention, the artwork shows the inevitable signs of age, but no serious damage that would spoil its beauty.
