«It has been said that masters and men are equal! Cant! There can only be one master in a house! Where two men meet the better man will rule. It has been said that Capital and Labour have the same interests. Cant! Their interests are as wide asunder as the poles.
Albrecht Dürer: Study of a Basilisk, the Sun, and the Moon, c. 1507-1519.
The drawing dates to around 1512-1513. Albrecht Dürer created it for a manuscript by his close friend Willibald Pirckheimer that's linked to Horapollo's text, 'Hieroglyphica'.
Horapollo's 'Hieroglyphica' drew a lot of attention in Renaissance Europe. That's because it claimed to explain the hidden meanings of ancient Egyptian symbols. Dürer's drawing is an attempt to visualize them.
The sun and moon at the top represent the cycle of day and night. The basilisk at the bottom is tied to the idea of the immortal serpent in the Horapollo tradition. By bringing these three elements together, Dürer conveys a single concept: eternity.

Por cierto, esa ensalada lleva queso feta? Como me encanta ya a lo mejor lo veo en todas partes... 😅
