Nascendo Morimur [1] refers to a specific art genre in the 16th century, which could be translated as ‘As we are born, we die”. This was a popular theme in Flanders and Germany during that period, and is strongly related to the more popular Vanitas still-lifes.
The paintings in this category usually depict a baby with skull.
