Vader Tijd toont herinneringen aan Vivant Denon 1818

"Vader Tijd toont herinneringen aan Vivant Denon" (1818) is a lithograph by baron Dominique Vivant Denon (1747-1825), now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts Father Time, a winged figure, holding an hourglass, above a scene of people and a small landscape with a church. Father Time is portrayed as a skeletal figure in a moment of reflection, while the figures below are seemingly lost in their thoughts. The artwork, a powerful allegory of time and memory, was created by the artist himself, who was a renowned art collector and director of the Louvre Museum.
