Post funera vita, Hendrick Hondius.
“Post funera vita: Pallida Mors omnes petit. huic parere necesse est. Non Color hic ullus, non juvat ullus honos. Qui bene vixerunt, horum est post funera vita: qui bene pinxerunt vivere Morte puta. Ad vivum pictis tabulas nova vita paratur. Post mortem ut possit viver quisque parent.”
“After burial, life: Pale death attacks all. We have to obey it. No colour or honour is of any help here. For those who have lived well, there is life after burial. [As for] those who have painted well, consider that they live in death. A new life is set out in lifelike paintings: let each set out to be able to live after death.”
On the pyramids there are written six painter’s initials /
