Rechteronderhoek van een prent van het tafereel van Cebes 1561 - 1596

This fragment of an engraving by Philips Galle is a detail from a larger work depicting the "Table of Cebes." The original print, created between 1561 and 1596, is a visual representation of the philosophical allegory by Cebes of Thebes. The artwork's fragmented state, evident in its torn edges, suggests a historical journey and underscores the enduring relevance of its message, emphasizing a profound connection to philosophical discourse. The image's detailed portrayal of architectural elements and figures, like the partially visible figures in the upper left corner, is characteristic of Galle's meticulous style. This fragment, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the rich world of Renaissance visual culture and philosophical inquiry.
