The Shell 1650 Holland. In the 17th century, seashells became popular collectible objects because they were considered rare and exotic. They also became common subjects for still-life paintings known as Vanitas, which symbolically represent the transience of life. The etchings of both Wenceslaus Hollar and Rembrandt van Rijn could represent the simultaneous beauty and fragility of existence. While still lifes in general are exceedingly rare in Rembrandtís work, Hollarís etching (1996.609) comes from a series of seashells, consisting of 38 plates. Rembrandtís shell could have been inspired by Hollarís work, though Rembrandtís decision to render the shell in a three-dimensional space represents a marked difference between the two etchings..
