Memento Mori - An artistic or symbolic trope acting as a reminder of the inevitability of death.

The Latin phrase Memento Mori literally means, "Remember that you must die." The phrase has its origins in ancient Rome, where it is believed that slaves accompanying generals on victory parades whispered the words as a reminder of their commander’s mortality, to prevent them from being consumed by hubris (excessive pride and self-confidence). The concept has become a familiar trope in the visual arts from the medieval period to the present.

Memento Mori- Latin phrase meaning ‘remember you must die’. A basic memento Mori depiction would be a skull found with other symbols like the hour glass or clocks, candles, fruit, and flowers.

In addition to the symbols of mortality other symbols include musical instruments, wine, and books to remind us explicitly of the vanity in the sense of worthlessness of worldly pleasures and goods.

Memento Mori became popular in the seventeenth century, in a religious age when almost everyone believed that life on earth was merely a preparation for an afterlife.
