The Reverse World, Crispijn van de Passe (I), 1574 - 1637 Canvas Print
Allegory on the reverse world with Democritus and Heraclitus (the smiling and the weeping philosopher). Heraclitus has sadly knocked down his eyes as the smiling Democritus points to a globe. At the globe, the folly of humanity is represented by jesters who enjoy fighting, playing and minuses. In the background a funeral procession and a raging sea with a sinking ship. On the globe are the devil, the folly personified by a jester and the female personification of Lust (Luxuria). In the upper corners angels with vanitas symbols. In the margin a twelve-line poem, in three columns, in German, and an eight-line poem, in two columns, in French.
