Panels representing scenes from The Table of Cebes, a classical text popular during the Renaissance, on the soul’s journey through life, were worked in the somber colors of northern European taste toward the end of the sixteenth century. Like another example in the collection (42.193.2), this one is based on a woodcut by David Kandel of Strasbourg.
