The Children of the Planet Mercury, Jan Brueghel (II), c. 1645 Canvas Print
Glorification of trade and science. Landscape with a ruin near a city on the coast. In the middle, three children are busy reading and writing, in front of them lie on the floor piles of books and geometric instruments. On the left, two foxes lurk to a group of monkeys engaged in alchemy. In the workspace on the left, a group of scientists bends around a table with a globe, against the wall is a bookcase. A clock hangs from a column at the entrance. To the right in the foreground are two monkeys near a group of objects that refer to fun and entertainment: musical instruments, playing cards, glasses with wine, a triktrak game, masks, swords, a music book and the torso of an image. In the background dancing comedians and audience gathered for a play staged outside a village. Through the air, Mercury's triumphal chariot drives pulled by four roosters. For it, all kinds of birds fly, including a parrot and a cockatoo. Out of the wagon a monkey scatters musical instruments, dice, masks, cards etc.
