Envy, a green-eyed monster that lurks within the depths of our souls, has long been a subject of fascination for artists and thinkers alike. From H. M. Bateman's depiction of mental cruelty to Leonardo da Vinci's allegories of pleasure and pain, envy is portrayed as a destructive force that consumes its victims. In Posada's metal engraving, we witness a rich man being hounded by the Seven Deadly Sins, with envy standing out among them. This early 20th-century artwork serves as a reminder that they are corrode even the most prosperous lives. H. M. Bateman further explores this theme in his illustration titled "Jealousy, " capturing the torment and anguish caused by comparing oneself to others. The artist skillfully portrays how they are twist one's perception and lead to mental suffering. The Tabletop of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things provides us with an intricate visual representation of these vices, including envy. In this oil painting detail, we glimpse into the showgirls' changing room where jealousy runs rampant amidst glittering costumes and whispered rivalries. But it is not only humans who fall victim to envy; animals too are susceptible to its grip. Cecil Aldin's illustration depicts monkeys pointing at each other under an umbrella—a comical yet poignant portrayal of how even creatures in nature can be consumed by comparison and covetousness. It also finds its way into popular culture through cartoons like Carl Anderson's Henry cartoon titled "Cone Envy. " Through humor, Anderson highlights how trivial matters can trigger feelings of inadequacy and jealousy amongst individuals. Religious texts have also explored this deadly sin extensively; La Bonne Presse presents The Archangel Michael Throwing Satan out of Heaven as depicted in their catechism publication—an eternal battle against envious desires that seeks to corrupt humanity.
