The harvestman, Jacques Horenbault, 1608 Canvas Print
The harvestman. Allegory of man's sinfulness: warning to do good and leave evil in the form of countless proverbs. The figures in the depicted proverbs all have a bunch of hay in hand; with all proverbs inscriptions with commentary in Dutch. In the middle in the foreground Woman World as an elegant lady with mirror with peacock feathers in one hand, a bunch of hay in the other. Opposite her a lute player with hourglass, where the sand runs out. On the left of the second plan a man kneeling in front of a statue of Mars, with on his coat of arms the names of Luther, Calvin and Menno (Simons); herewith a warning against the worship of eating of eating gods. Main theme: it's all hay = everything is vanity/impermanent. At the top of the devil with a harvestman, here is the proverb: Comt al om hooy, met grooten hoopen / Ick sals u ghenoech gheven, ghij en hoeft gheene te koope[n]. With the caption of one line in Dutch.
