This woodcut, titled "Tabula Cebetis," was created by David Kandel between 1515 and 1601. The artwork is a visual representation of the allegorical journey of life, depicted as a winding path leading to a city at the top. It portrays a group of figures navigating this path, each representing a different stage in life. The scene is framed by a wall with a walled-in city, symbolizing the ultimate destination. The woodcut is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It's a fascinating example of early modern printmaking and its use in conveying moral and philosophical ideas.
