In Ictu Oculi and Finis Gloriae Mundi
These paintings are a pair of chilling, grim works commissioned for the Hospital de la Caridad and created by Juan de Valdés Leal (1622-1690), Baroque artist. The art pieces are masterful allegories of Death intended to remind the viewer of how universal Death is and how fleeting are the earthly delights.
Together, the paintings make up Las Postrimerías - the Afterlife.
In Ictu Oculi ("in a blink of an eye") shows a grim reaper exstinguishing a candle - above it the titular text that implies the quickness with which a life goes out like a flame.
Finis Gloriae Mundi ("end of worldly glory") depicts two rotting corpses, a bishop and a knight, laying in a crypt and surrounded by allegories of money and status.

Juan de Valdés Leal
Portrait of Don Enrique Vaca de Alfaro, ca. 1654-56
Private collection (source: Christie’s)
This portrait is one of the first painted by Valdés Leal during his career in Córdoba. The sitter, Don Enrique Vaca de Alfaro (1635-1685), seems to have known the artist personally as a member of the city’s cultured and intellectual elite. He was a Cordoban physician and writer, a cultivated man, born into a noble family, who had penned of a number of historic and intellectual works including his panegyric ‘’Varones ilustres de Córdoba’’ which detailed the lives of fifty-nine of the city’s most illustrious figures, and a volume of poetry, the ‘Lira de Melpómene’, printed in the city in 1666.

Well then, Maximus,
Since you’ve excused yourself,
Why do you recite?
