Description |
Allegory of the demise of man. The Worldly Man (Mundanus Homo) falls through the open hatch into the floor. The devil (Diabolus) keeps his nets ready to catch him. A naked woman, Sin (Peccatum), pulls the Worldly Man by his coat so that she can pierce him with her arrow. In the middle, Death (Mors) points his arrow at the falling man. He is stopped by Divine Grace (Gratia). Above her head is the dove of the Holy Spirit. On the far right, Arrogance (Arrogantia), the man with helmet, shield and raised sword, Fight Ambition (Ambitio) and Violence (Violentia). They compete for the earthly resources that fell from Vanitas' bed through the hole in the floor. The representation is clarified in the Dutch, French and German captions in the margin. Print published in Antwerp by Willem van Haecht who also composed the text. Engraved by Hieronymus Wierix after design by Ambrosius Francken (I). |
