You are both right and wrong. It wasn't the lute per se that was considered
ungodly in the reformation, it was all music of the Catholic liturgy. The
strict Protestants (beyond Luther) found the music of the Catholic church to
be a lure to the arts and other "impure" things. It was at this

The tradition of vanity pictures or emblems goes back to Ecclesiastes: "Vanity,
vanity, all is vanity." And so forth.
This life is temporary and ends in death and decay. Remember that you too shall die,
and repent so as to have life everlasting. These pictures often contain a skull to

Dear Caroline,
Nicely put. Music is certainly an ephemeral art. There is, for
example, a nice vanitas on the title page of Fuhrmann's _Testudo
Gallo-Germanica_ (1615).
We have been discussing Holbein's "Ambassadors" of late. The most
significant feature of this painting is the extraordinary skull
