Document Summary
In the noble"s home of henry n, of the netherlands. Ended up in king philip of spain"s collection. God the father in the top left corner overseeing creation. Large orb of the world before this are created. Built on a base of shimmering coal. Around all of them so many weird animals. Platypus reading a book, two-legged dog, innocuous bunny. Figures gather, flowing into an egg, preparing to dice, people in a flower being feed by a bird, crowd of people eating a huge strawberry. Egg taking in people, instead of producing life. Big crescent moon above the central fountain. Crowds of people circling around a lake, cavalcade, mock of chivalric poetry. Flip them the bird, is a modern version. People in the garden only eat berries. Vanity and glory, since the passing taste of strawberries and its pleasant odor is hardly remembers once it has past . Pleasure is fleeting and eventually you have to pay.
