Carefully composed items; skulls, decaying fruit, gold, baubles, literature, instruments, hour glasses all held moral codes, and exhorted the viewer to consider the morality & consequently repent. In a National Trust treasure Sutton House, this pop-up will translate Vanitas into food, art, set design, and offer a chance to relish a five course banquet as our predecessors would have done before us.
