The lost son wastes his inheritance, Cornelis Anthonisz., 1535 - 1545 print One of series of six. Son (Filius Prodigus) at the table with lust (caro) and greed (Avaritia). Personification of the world (Mundus) trampled conscience (Conscientia). Selfishness (Proprum Commudum) steals the money pouch. Behind him are transience (vanitas), heresy (Haeresis) and reason (ratio), which plays on a bagpipe. Above the scene in a cloud the spirit of inaccuracy and fanatic (Spiritus Erronei & Fanatics). Low Countries paper the prodigal son in the midst of prostitutes feasting and dissipating his patrimony
