メトロポリタン美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (メトロポリタン美術館Instagram)「No bones about it—we have now entered #SpookySeason. ☠️⁣ ⁣ Skeletons on this 16th-century rosary serve as sobering reminders of life's fleeting nature. Each bead features a bust of a wealthy young person on one side...and their skeletal counterparts on the other. Even more graphically, the terminals show the head of a deceased man, with half the image eaten away from decay. ⁣ ⁣ Such images no doubt served as daily reminders to their owner of the importance of leading a virtuous life in order to obtain salvation.⁣ ⁣ 🎨 Rosary, ca. 1500–1525. German. On view in Gallery 306. #MetMedieval」10月26日 22時58分
