At once destructive and creative, Cubism shocked, appalled and fascinated the art world. The original painting of this print has not yet been seen in auction.  This lot is sold subject to Artists Resale Rights, details of which can be found in our Terms and Conditions.

The images were designed by Maarten van Heemskerck and engraved by Philips Galle. Plate 1: Man is born naked. An allegorical scene with personification of nature handing a naked child to a woman in the center. On the right, another woman is holding a swaddled baby. The surrounding landscape is filled with a variety of animals. Plate 2: Man must learn everything. In the foreground, two women are busy with some toddlers who need help. In the background, the landscape with rock formation and coastline is filled with animals. Plate 3: Man is exposed to danger and disease. Six men walk in the foreground including a blind man, a cripple and a man with a toothache. Plate 4: Man is tormented by sin. Personifications of Greed (Avarita), Wrong Opinion (Opnio), Envy (Invidia), Sadness (Tristitia) and Haughtiness (Superbia) afflict man (Homo). The character Conscience (Conscientia) tries to lead him on the right path by using a mirror that offers insight and a rod that represents punishment. Plate 5: Man is beset by poverty, imprisonment and death. In this allegorical scene, we see poverty as an old woman, a man in chains and a man who is just falling on a sword. In the background, a body falls from a rock with a burning town. Plate 6: Man is always fighting. Spread across the print we behold fighting pairs of men. In contrast, we find pairs of animals quietly enjoying each other's company. --- A very rare complete series of humanistic prints seldom found on the market.
