About the work
In the museum's own words — in Dutch
Dialectica zit op een stoel in een ruimte met stenen muren en disputeert met een oude man. Ze telt haar argumenten aan de vingers af. Op haar hoofd en op de leuning van haar stoel zitten vogels, op de grond twee padden. Dialectica staat met haar voet op een stapel boeken van belangrijke denkers.

Lampsonius's Letter to Titian
Cort's connection with Cock and Titian is illustrated by a letter of 1567 from Dominicus Lampsonius of Liège addressed to Titian, in which Cock is named as Cort's teacher.
