Upper right corner of a print of the scene of Cebes, Philips Galle, 1561 - 1596 Canvas Print
Allegory of the way of salvation of man. Life as a city with three walled grounds, with a temple in the middle. At the outer gate, the souls of children are waiting, ready to enter adult life. For entering they get something to drink from Temptation (Seductio), which makes them ignorant. The first walled terrain shows all kinds of distractions and distractions, such as Prejudice (Opinio), Desire (Cupiduas), Doubt (Error) and Ignorance (Ignorantia). They prevent the youthful man from further penetrated to the next circle. Only by following the personifications of Repentance (Poenitentia), Hope (Spes) and Good Desire (Bonnem Desiderium) can man gain access to the second circle. There he is taught all forms of worldly knowledge. On the left are the seven artes liberales and on the right are debating different scholars. Man is put to the test in this circle and confronted with false knowledge (Falsa Disciplina). With the help of Self-control (Continentia) and Patientness (Tolerantia) the mountain can be climbed further. The third walled terrain, finally, is guarded by Truth (Veritas). It gives man access to true happiness. He is welcomed by the cardinal virtues and is allowed to dwell in the house of the blessed, where true happiness awaits him. Reconstructed from two fragments.
