In modern and contemporary art, less and less tributary to Christian visions, the vanitas theme loses its importance, without completely disappearing. In the 19th and 20th centuries, allusions to this theme are extremely subtle . This time, the static natures are no longer ostentatious, but become pretexts for refined studies of form and color. The selection of objects is no longer done to impress, the composition reflects a natural and normal lifestyle.Considered, in the past, a minor artistic genre, compared to the great historical, mythological or religious painting, still life, in all its forms, strongly claims its importance and seduces the initiated and those who have the patience to discern them refined and subtle messages.
