Memento Mori: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memento_mori https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memento_mori This figured in Renaissance Art. I remember seeing Holbein’s The Ambassador’s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ambassadors_(Holbein) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ambassadors_(Holbein) There’s a skull in the picture but you have to be at an awkward angle to see it, I thought it was a gimmick; on reflection though if you have to make the effort to see it it is going to make you think about more deeply, rather than just another object on a table. Talk about Ambassadors these days and people may think of the Ferro Rocher advert.
