Victoria Mortis | Owe Zerge | 1921

This painting titled "Victoria Mortis" by Owe Zerge depicts a young, nude man seated at a table, deeply engrossed in a game of chess. His opponent is a skeletal figure, symbolizing death, wearing a tattered red cloak. The background is stark black, highlighting the two figures and the game, which serves as a metaphor for the man's struggle against mortality. Death's bony hand moves a chess piece, suggesting it's his turn, while an hourglass on the table hints that time is running out. The overall mood of the painting is somber and reflective of the existential themes of life and death.
