ABOUT THE WORK

To This Favour by William Michael Harnett was created in 1879 and is in Cleveland Museum of Art Ohio. The size of the work is 61,3 x 81,5 cm and is made of oil on canvas. The Latin term memento mori describes a traditional subject in art that addresses mortality. In Harnett’s example, the extinguished candle, spent hourglass, and skull symbolize death. A quote from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, inscribed on the inside cover of a tattered book, reinforces the theme. It comes from the play’s famed graveyard scene where Hamlet discovers a skull and grimly ponders his beloved Ophelia, ironically unaware that she is already dead. The "paint" in the quote not only refers to Ophelia’s makeup, but also wittily evokes the artifice of Harnett’s picture. The Artist: William Michael Harnett (1848 - 1892) was an Irish-American painter known for his trompe-l'œil still lifes of ordinary objects. Art Movement: Classic The Theme of the Work: Still Life
