Allegory of the World [1] (1515) is the title of an anonymous Flemish painting located in Museum Waterburcht Anhalt Isselburg.

The work, attributed to the school of Joachim Patinir comes from the collection of the prince of Salm-Salm and was first exhibited at the Meisterwerke westdeutscher Malerei in Düsseldorf.

On a globe of glass, the artist has painted the joys and miseries of the world, with its gallows and torture wheels. The rocky and fantastic landscape is indeed reminiscent of the painter of Bouvignes. Through an opening on the left, a young man with a long stick trying to enter. A Flemish inscription tells us that he would cross the world without bending:

We see out in middle age, on the other side laughing, holding his long crooked stick. He recognized the need to bend:

Sur un globe terrestre en verre, l'artiste a peint les joies et les misères du monde, avec ses gibets, ses potences et ses roues de supplice. Le paysage rocheux et fantastique rappelle bien le genre du peintre de Bouvignes. Par une ouverture à gauche, un homme jeune muni d'un long bâton cherche à y entrer. Une inscription flamande nous apprend qu'il voudrait traverser le monde sans plier :
« Met recht soudic gerne doer de Werelt commen. »
Nous le voyons sortir à l'âge mûr, de l'autre côté en riant, tenant son long bâton tordu. Il a reconnu qu'il fallait plier :
« ic bender doer maar ic moet crommen. »
--Le genre satirique dans la peinture flamande[2]
