EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Man must kill desires The spiritual yachts (series title)" is a thought-provoking allegorical illustration inspired by the Bible text in Galatians 5:24. Created by Hendrick Goltzius in Haarlem between 1578 and 1582, this engraving delves into the profound concept that whoever belongs to Christ must crucify their own nature along with all passions and desires. The artwork portrays two crosses, upon which hang a naked and blindfolded man and woman representing desire itself, personified as De Begeerte. Symbolizing the crucifixion of evil, a snake is depicted on one of the crosses. In an evocative scene reminiscent of biblical imagery, a man pierces the side of the woman with a spear. Hovering above these symbolic elements is Christ himself amidst clouds, emphasizing his role in redemption and salvation. The composition also includes various Latin and Dutch inscriptions that offer versatile explanations for viewers to interpret. Goltzius' masterpiece invites contemplation on themes such as original sin, doctrine, and personal transformation through faith. Its intricate details provoke introspection about our own desires and how they relate to our spiritual journey. Measuring 200 mm in height by 152 mm in width, this remarkable print captures both the technical skill of Goltzius as an engraver and his ability to convey complex theological concepts visually. It serves as a powerful reminder that true devotion requires sacrifice – even sacrificing one's deepest desires – for those who choose to follow Christ's path.
