Description
English: This painting is an allegory of worldly vanity by Gillis Mostaert (or his workshop). It is based on The Haywain by Hieronymus Bosch. It depicts all mankind, from the Pope and Emperor on down to peasants and cripples, being obsessed with straw, a metaphor for worthless pursuits. The design satirizes the form of a triumphal procession, with the hay wagon in place of a triumphal chariot. Various sins, violence, and personified Death are also shown. The scene appears within a larger motif, a circular design with a cross. This represents the globus cruciger, ("cross-bearing orb"), a Christian symbol of the world. The painting is held by the Louvre.
Date Second half of 16th century
