FRENCH SCHOOL, early 19th century. “The Stages of Life.” Oil - Lot 36
FRENCH SCHOOL, early 19th century. “The Stages of Life.” Oil on old mounted canvas. H.48 L.68 With frame H.66 L.80. The rare and sought-after theme of the ages of life has, over the centuries, been an artistic approach intended to convey the relativity of beings and things, much like the Vanities. Depicted at times as male figures but also as female ones, these works were meant to show that strength, power, or beauty are merely fleeting…; as symbolized by the spinner’s gesture, life flows inexorably on.
