Memento Mori, To This Favour, 1879. Creator: William Michael Harnett (American
Memento Mori, " To This Favour", 1879. The Latin term memento mori describes a traditional subject in art that addresses mortality. In Harnetts example, the extinguished candle, spent hourglass, and skull symbolize death. A quote from William Shakespeares Hamlet, inscribed on the inside cover of a tattered book, reinforces the theme. It comes from the plays famed graveyard scene where Hamlet discovers a skull and grimly ponders his beloved Ophelia, ironically unaware that she is already dead. The " paint" in the quote not only refers to Ophelias makeup, but also wittily evokes the artifice of Harnetts picture
