Italian school (XX) - Memento Mori

Beautiful painting of "Memento Mori", executed in oil on a plywood board, probably dating from the mid-20th century, originating from ecclesiastical circles of Salento (Southern Italy).
It is unsigned and comes with its lovely original silvered wooden frame.
The indicated measurements refer to the work including the frame; the painting alone measures 23 x 18 cm.
It depicts a skull in a niche in the wall, and above it a sheet of paper bearing the Latin word MORS (death), symbols that remind man of the brevity of life and his inevitable end.
The quality of the painting is extremely high, as you can see from the photos; the colors and the light effects are very beautiful.
Attention, the piece shows the inevitable signs of time; the frame has minor damage, but there is no serious damage that would mar its beauty.
