a good example is the "picture gallery with fashionable visitors" (national trust, uppark house and garden, west sussex) dated to the 1660s. the gallery depicted is an imaginary gallery with three allegorical figures who are admiring a canvas of the 'last judgement'. on a table by a window are placed pieces of sculpture, a globe, and other objects. the contrast between the precious objects on the table and the 'last judgement' in the foreground illustrates the idea of vanitas: the ultimate vanity of earthly pleasures.
