EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mortal Sin" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a colour lithograph by French School. The artwork is part of a private collection and was created as an illustration for the Grand Album d Images en Couleurs for l'Explication du Catechisme by Abbe Mouterde in 1899. The image depicts the concept of mortal sin within Roman Catholic teachings, emphasizing its ethical implications. It features St. Mary of Egypt, a symbol of evil and criminality, alongside other saints such as St. Pelagia and St. Marie-Egyptienne. This thought-provoking composition serves as an educational tool to explain the consequences of sinful actions according to Catholic doctrine. The visual narrative communicates a powerful message about crime, punishment, and moral values through religious symbolism. The imprisoned figures represent sinners who have deviated from Christian teachings, highlighting the importance of repentance and redemption. With its intricate details and rich colors, this French lithograph invites viewers to reflect on their own actions while contemplating the teachings of Christianity. It serves as a reminder that our choices can lead us down different paths – towards righteousness or towards spiritual imprisonment. "Mortal Sin" stands not only as a testament to artistic excellence but also as an instrument for religious instruction and reflection on one's personal values within the context of France's cultural heritage.
