What does MORIMVR mean? Something to do with death, right?matthewscott8 on Nov 17 2017, 05:43:15 AM wrote:
Another fave going back through the folds of time quite a lot further. Portrait of a Lady and a Young Girl by Adriaen van Cronenburg. If you really want to go even higher res look it up on the Prado website, it's so beautiful to look at.
You could translate it a few ways. "As we are born we begin to die", e.g. combo of NASCENDO on one side and MORIMVR on the other (Latin V is like our U). Or more simply "We are born, we die". You could take the view that you live moments more intensely when you insert an understanding of death into them. I feel an intense amount of love between the mother and daughter in the painting. (Though we actually have no idea who these two are and their relationship).Eve-Lang-El-Coup on Nov 17 2017, 08:01:06 AM wrote:What does MORIMVR mean?
