An Allegory of Transience

Artist: Giovanni Serodine
Artwork: An Allegory of Transience
Description: This painting depicts a bearded man, likely the philosopher Heraclitus, holding a glass of wine in one hand and a book in the other. Smoke rises from his mouth, possibly a reference to the idea that everything is in a constant state of flux, like smoke.
