Allegory of the World (1515) is the title of an anonymous Flemish painting, attributed to the studio of Joachim Patinir.
The work comes from the collection of the prince of Salm-Salm and is now in the collection of the Museum Wasserburg Anholt. It was first exhibited at the Meisterwerke westdeutscher Malerei in Düsseldorf in 1904. It was also shown at the 2012 exhibition Flemish Landscape Fables.
Description
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 Patinir. Through an opening on the left, a young man with a long stick tries to enter. A Flemish inscription tells us that he would like to cross the world without bending:
- « Met recht soudic gerne doer de Werelt commen. »
- « Upright I would like to cross the world. »
We see him coming out on the other side, middle aged and laughing, holding his long crooked stick. He has recognized the need to bend.
- « ic bender doer maar ic moet crommen. »
- « I crossed it but I had to bend. »
An alternative translation is "An upright life to lead I yearn, yet am forced to twist and turn." (Hoogsteder-Naumann Mercury)
