EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pride (Superbia) from The Seven Deadly Sins, 1558" takes us back to the 16th century. Created by Pieter van der Heyden, this piece of art is a remarkable engraving that showcases the artist's exceptional talent. The image depicts a surreal scene filled with symbolism and imagination. In the foreground, we see a group of people, both men and women, gathered around a mirror. Their expressions reflect vanity and self-absorption as they admire themselves in its reflection. A peacock stands proudly beside them, symbolizing pride itself. The intricate details of the buildings in the background transport us to Flanders during this period. The architecture adds depth to the composition while also hinting at societal values and norms prevalent at that time. Pieter van der Heyden's mastery shines through his skillful rendering of each figure present in this artwork. Every line etched into the surface tells a story; every stroke captures emotion. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of our own human nature - how easily pride can consume us all if left unchecked. It serves as an enduring reminder to remain humble and grounded amidst life's temptations. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless message about one of humanity's most universal vices: pride.
