In this collection, we witness the triumphs and pride that define human affairs in various cycles of life. Plate 3 unveils a powerful depiction of Triumph Pride, where vicissitudes shape our existence, and is an exploration of how our actions influence the course of history. Similarly, Plate 5 portrays Triumph War, revealing the relentless nature of human affairs amidst ever-changing circumstances. Moving forward to Plate 2, Triumph Riches unravels before us. Here we see how wealth can both elevate and challenge individuals within society's intricate web. Meanwhile, Plate 4 delves into the complexities surrounding envy - an emotion that often fuels unexpected turns in human affairs. Aspiring towards righteousness is beautifully illustrated in Diligent Worker (Plate 6). This print reminds us that laborious efforts are rewarded by the Lord himself – a testament to the value placed upon hard work and diligence. In contrast to these tumultuous themes lies Peace (Plate 8), showcasing humanity's longing for harmony amid constant change. The cycle continues with Man Born Toil (Plate 1), reminding us that reward comes only through unwavering dedication – an inspiring message brought forth by artist Philips Galle. Humility takes center stage in Plate 7's portrayal of Triumph Humility; it serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst grand achievements, modesty remains essential for personal growth and fulfillment. Finally, Foolish Knowledge confronts Foolish Love in their futile attempt to restrain an unrestrained world (Plate X). This print urges us to reflect on our own limitations when trying to control forces beyond our grasp. World Disposing Justice (Plate Y) concludes this remarkable collection, emphasizing the importance of a just and balanced world.
