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

"Rechterbovenhoek van een prent van het tafereel van Cebes", created between 1561 and 1596 by Philips Galle (1537 - 1612), is a fragmented engraving of a larger scene. The image is dominated by a swirling mass of figures, suggesting a chaotic gathering or procession. The artwork depicts a scene from the "Table of Cebes", a Greek philosophical dialogue, using the allegory of a journey through life. The fragmented state of the work, with its missing sections, emphasizes the impermanence of life and knowledge. The artwork is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam and measures 283 mm in height and 373 mm in width.
