Allegory on the complexity of man, Johannes Wierix, 1579 Canvas Print
Landscape with a naked child, leaning backwards against a tree. His arm rests on a skull, his legs on a lion. He is surrounded by a lamb, a fox, a snake and a bird. In his hand he has an hourglass (which symbolizes the transience of life). He points to the name "Christ" in the sky, surrounded by rays and cherubim. The performance is set in an ornamental frame with medallions in the corners in which the four different life eras of man are depicted: in a nursery a baby is born (top left), young men engaged in study, music and painting (top right), a family in prayer before the meal (bottom left), an old man on his deathbed, surrounded by grieving relatives (bottom right). Between the medallions cartouches with Bible quotes in Latin, and attributes associated with the activities of the different ages.
