EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the "Sloth Crushed Poverty Deficiency Story" series titled "The Sloth is Crushed by Poverty and Deficiency Story of the Sloth" transports us to a powerful scene. The sloth, lying on the floor, becomes a metaphor for laziness and apathy in the face of poverty and deficiency. Personifications of Gebrek, a man with an amputated leg, and Poverty, depicted as a man with torn pants, strike the sloth with batons. Drawing inspiration from biblical texts in Proverbs 6:11 and Proverbs 24:34, this print delves into themes of struggle and consequence. An explanatory text in Latin accompanies the representation, adding depth to its meaning. Part of an album entitled "Stupidity, Poverty or Intellect" which explores various aspects of human nature through symbolic imagery found in Ripa's book "Stupidità overo Stolidità" this particular print stands out for its poignant depiction of societal issues. Created by Philips Galle between 1563-1567 or 1579 using paper engraving techniques, this artwork measures approximately 207mm in height by 249mm in width. Its inclusion within this larger collection highlights Galle's mastery as an artist who skillfully conveyed complex ideas through his work. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image captured within Liszt Collection's archives (not affiliated with any company), we are reminded that our choices have consequences and that indifference towards poverty can lead to dire outcomes.
