A la mort, à la vie ! Vanités d'hier et d'aujourd'hui

This book presents us with a rather new perspective on the way in which certain painters deal with existential questions, linked to life, death, old age, youth or fragility. This analysis is based on the representations of each one concerning all these questions inherent to the human condition and which, in the artists, can be translated by quite singular representations. From Rembrandt to Francis Bacon, a broad panorama is devoted to the works of art and their analysis, following the themes previously stated.
