Death "Vanitas"
(Latin: Emptyness, Vanity; a central motive of baroque music, literature, fine arts)

"Memento Mori!"
("Remember your death!" - baroque saying)

<== Back

Skulls of stone stare into space with their empty eyeholes, the last grains of sand of hourglasses seem to trickle to the ground. It is a queasy feeling, going for a walk through the cemeteries of St. Sebastian and St. Peter.

Besides several dead people of Salzburgs history (some Mozarts (but not himself), archbishops, the English Patient (not the actor, but the original guy the Hollywood movie is based on), the statues in the cemeteries give a good picture of the baroque ambivalence between death and the love for life.
