EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Omnium rerum Vicissitudo est" captures the essence of life's fortunes through a series of symbols and allegories. At the center, a globe represents the world in which these virtues and vices exist. Arranged in a round circle around it are various personifications, each representing different aspects that shape human destiny. Starting from the right, we see Fortitudo (Strength), Wealth, Superbia (Pride), Invidia (Envy), War, Poverty, and Faith. These figures depict the contrasting forces that influence our lives - strength against weakness, abundance versus scarcity, arrogance battling humility. In the upper center stands Peace herself. Above her head floats a wreath of clouds through which divine light shines upon her. This symbolizes how peace can only be achieved when guided by higher principles and enlightenment. At the bottom center lies a cartouche displaying the title of this artwork - "Vicissitudes of Life". It is identified as number 9 in a series that explores virtues and vices determining human fortune. This engraving was created by Zacharias Dolendo in Leiden between 1596-1597. Measuring 230mm in height and 167mm in width on paper medium, it showcases intricate details and craftsmanship. Through this image, viewers are invited to contemplate life's ever-changing nature where virtues clash with vices to shape our destinies. It serves as a reminder that our choices have consequences and highlights the importance of finding balance amidst life's unpredictable journey.
