Kandel, David (ca. 1520-ca. 1596)
Tabula Cebetis, German woodcut; second state of two, 16th century. The Table of Cebes, or The Journey of Human Life, is an allegory that represents the dangers and temptations that beset man and threaten to divert him from an existence predicated upon piety and study, including the study of mathematics. Here, even the innermost sanctum is not immune to worldly desires -a Reformation-era commentary on the hypocrisy of institutions claiming to uphold standards of human behavior. Block: 12 13/16 × 16 1/8 in. (32.5 × 41 cm). Sheet: 13 9/16 × 16 5/16 in. (34.5 × 41.5 cm). Harris Brisbane Dick Fund, 1944 (44.1.22).
