Death and the Merchant

Artist: Frans Francken the Younger (Flemish, 1581–1642)

Date: 17th Century

Medium: Oil on Copper

Collection: Private Collection

DESCRIPTION

The old man rests his foot on a stool, perhaps as a relief from gout, the disease of the wealthy and self indulgent which affected the toes, and he points to it in awareness that death and disease will inevitably catch up with him. The skeleton, in mocking imitation, rests its own foot on an hourglass, a common symbol of the transience and the sands of life running out. He spots an embroidered purse at his waist containing an object hard to decipher but maybe a shovel for scooping up the money that will be of little avail to the man once he is dead. In the background another skeleton confronts a much younger man, perhaps the older man’s son, who through his father's wealth and judging by his sword has elevated himself to the gentry class. He may be in a position to dissipate his father's riches, but death always lies in wait.

Christ and the Woman Taken in Adultery

Artist: Frans Francken the Younger (Flemish, 1581-1642)

A Woman Caught in Adultery | John 8:1-11, New Living Translation

Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives, but early the next morning he was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them. As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd. “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?” They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust. When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”
