1557 Allegory Bruegel Damned Death Demon Elder Evil Flemish Hell Personification Pieter Pride Seven Deadly Sins Sinner Vanity
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "SEVEN DEADLY SINS: PRIDE" transports us back to the Renaissance era, specifically 1557, when it was created by the talented artist Peter Bruegel the Elder. The engraving, based on a pen drawing, beautifully captures the essence of Pride as one of the seven deadly sins. The Flemish verse below the engraving serves as a powerful reminder that even Almighty God detests this vice. It emphasizes how pride can lead to defiance against God himself in Heaven. This thought-provoking message adds depth and meaning to Bruegel's artwork. In this allegorical depiction, we witness a personification of Pride surrounded by various elements symbolizing vanity and evil. The demon-like figure represents the sinful nature of pride while other damned souls are shown suffering in Hell due to their own arrogance. Bruegel's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen, bringing life and emotion into each character portrayed. Through this print, he invites viewers to reflect upon their own actions and consider the consequences that may arise from succumbing to pride. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand's collection, we are transported into a world where men in middle ages grapple with their inner demons and face death itself. It serves as a timeless reminder that humility should prevail over vanity if one wishes for spiritual salvation.
