In het midden hangt een ovaal met een figuratieve voorstelling c. 1525 - 1594

This print, made by Hans Sibmacher, is filled with potent symbols. The composition's visual language is dominated by mythological creatures: griffins, centaurs, and various hybrid figures, each carrying layers of cultural memory. The centaur motif, half-man, half-horse, echoes through time, from ancient Greek art to Renaissance depictions. Often symbolizing the conflict between reason and animal instinct, here it evokes a primal, untamed energy. Consider the recurring figure of a winged creature, seen both above and below the oval center. This iconography has journeyed through history, representing transcendence, divinity, and the soul's journey. The emotional power of these images lies in their ability to tap into our collective unconscious. They invite us to explore the complex interplay between our conscious and subconscious selves. It is a powerful force engaging viewers on a deep, subconscious level. The image is a testament to the non-linear, cyclical progression of symbols, resurfacing, evolving, and taking on new meanings across historical contexts.
