Drie fragmenten van tekst bij een prent van het tafereel van Cebes 1561 - 1596

"Drie fragmenten van tekst bij een prent van het tafereel van Cebes", created by an anonymous artist between 1561 and 1596, is a series of three fragmented pages from a book housed at the Rijksmuseum. The pages feature the text of "The Table of Cebes" a Greek philosophical allegory on the path to virtue, with only fragments of the text remaining, underscoring the passage of time and the loss of knowledge. The artwork's composition, with the fragmented pages arranged on a white background, creates a sense of both loss and intrigue, making it a fascinating example of historical and literary documentation.
