The World, plate 1 from The Vicissitude of Human Things
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Maarten van Heemskerck that takes us on a journey through the cyclical nature of human existence. In this fantastical and symbolic artwork, we are presented with a rich tapestry of allegorical figures and elements. At the center of the composition lies a globe, within which seven personages reside. These personifications represent various aspects of life, while being surrounded by the four elements - earth, water, fire, and air. They sit in an elaborate carriage drawn by horses named Night and Day, driven by Father Time himself. Above them soar the Four Winds, adding to the ethereal atmosphere created by winged creatures fluttering around. A broken rainbow stretches across the sky as a reminder of life's fleeting nature and inconstancy. Heemskerck's attention to detail is evident in every element portrayed; from intricate wheels on the carriage to celestial orbs floating above. This Northern Renaissance masterpiece invites contemplation on our place within the grand scheme of things. "The World" serves as an allegory for humanism and reminds us that despite our individual struggles or triumphs, we are all part of something greater than ourselves – an ever-changing world where everything eventually comes full circle.
