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.”
