Allegory of Vanity

Artist: Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione
Artwork: Allegory of Vanity
Description: This painting is an allegory of vanity. The young woman in the center is holding a mirror, which is a symbol of vanity. The other objects in the painting, such as the flowers, the musical instruments, and the books, are also symbols of vanity. The painting is a reminder that all of these things are temporary and that we should not be too attached to them.
