EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pride (Superbia), from the series The Seven Deadly Sins, 1558" takes us back to the 16th century. Created by Pieter van der Heyden, this allegorical masterpiece explores the concept of pride through a fantastical dream city. The intricate engraving showcases a mythical creature resembling a peacock with multiple heads and monstrous features. Its majestic wings spread wide as it perches atop an elaborate building, symbolizing vanity and arrogance. The attention to detail is remarkable, capturing every feather and scale with precision. In this surreal landscape, we see other birds flying around in awe of this mythical beast. They represent onlookers who are both fascinated and intimidated by the power that pride holds over individuals. The use of black and white adds depth to the image, enhancing its dramatic impact. As we gaze upon this artwork at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported into a world where imagination meets reality. It serves as a reminder of how dangerous unchecked pride can be when it distorts our perception of ourselves and others. Pieter van der Heyden's print invites us to reflect on our own actions and reminds us that humility is essential for personal growth. This timeless piece continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and thought-provoking symbolism centuries after its creation.
