Description |
English: Allegory on the misleading pleasures of the world: the great prostitute, a goblet in her hand, sitting on the seven-headed beast and heading towards Hell, with a demon welcoming her; in the background, a huntress shooting an arrow in the air and the wind blowing. 1580

Notes |
Plate 2 from a series of twenty, see 1834,0804.159 for comment. Also see 'Fontainebleau et l'estampe en France au XVIe siècle, iconographie et contradictions', Nemours 1985, cat. No.118. Various inscriptions in verses found on certain copies (also see Robert-Dumesnil IX p.73) give the meaning of the scene, which illustrates the fact that the pleasures of the world lead people to Hell faster than the wind blows or that a river runs. |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
