"All is vanity" is an English equivalent of "Alles is ijdelheid."

The Dutch and the English phrases are translations of a passage from the biblical Old Testament. Specifically, the sentence in question is found in Ecclesiastes 1:2. The theme of "vanity" or the emptiness and fleeting nature of life became a theme in the still life paintings of 16th-17th century Flanders and the Netherlands.
