[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 7333763, member: 1136"]A friend of mine just acquired this piece from a rental home rented by a TV actor, it was left abandoned by the actor in the home. It measures 60x69" I googled Memento Mori and came back with.. "A memento mori is an artwork designed to remind the viewer of their mortality and of the shortness and fragility of human life." I also see the painter was born in 1941 and died in 2007. That's all I really know. My friend is looking for any other sort of information someone can come up with? I find it neat to look at it, I like the color scheme, but I dont think I'd love it in my house :shy: It almost reminds me of something from The Labyrinth.. Is there a name for these sort of creatures? Any idea on the symbolisms? Value of the piece? I've asked him for better up close pictures, I'll post them when I get them.
