Themes
One of Mostaert's favorite themes was the Vision of Augustus and the Tiburtine Sibyl. An abbreviated version can be seen in the top half of his "Adoration of the Magi". It can also be found in the broad courtyard in the background of his "Portrait of Abel van den Coulster".

Famous quotes containing the word themes:
“In economics, we borrowed from the Bourbons; in foreign policy, we drew on themes fashioned by the nomad warriors of the Eurasian steppes. In spiritual matters, we emulated the braying intolerance of our archenemies, the Shi’ite fundamentalists.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“I suppose you think that persons who are as old as your father and myself are always thinking about very grave things, but I know that we are meditating the same old themes that we did when we were ten years old, only we go more gravely about it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
