Allegory on human nature, Jan Saenredam, 1610 - 1648 Canvas Print
Beneficentia, the personification of benevolence, sits on a chair and is stabbed from behind by evil in the gudoing of a naked man. A knee of the man leans on a skull and a snake, which bites into its own tail as a symbol of eternity, hangs around his right leg. On the right is a coffin with the inscription: Mors Oblivio. With her left hand, Beneficentia gives the sun to the naked man. She gives the moon to the woman in front of her. Between them lies a tied lion, which licks a dog. A mouse gnaws his rope. In the background some obelisks. The performance has an ornamental frame. On the left, the personification of fertility gives birth to a child, who is brought to life by the breath of Apollo as a symbol of the good. On the right, a child is given birth who receives his breath from Evil. At the top left, a woman breastfeeds a child. At the top right, a woman feeds a child with a spoon. Under the premise an eight-line, Latin text and a cartouche with a five-line, Latin text.
