EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from 1534, titled "TEMPERANCE" depicts a powerful message against drinking. The image showcases the drunken devil lying on a bier, symbolizing the consequences of alcoholism. Published in Augsburg during the height of the temperance movement, this artwork aimed to discourage excessive drinking and highlight its destructive nature. The intricate details of this woodcut are mesmerizing. The devil's grotesque appearance with horns and an ugly face represents evil and temptation associated with intoxication. Chained and shackled, he is bound by his own vices, unable to escape the clutches of addiction. In contrast to this malevolent figure stands a cherub-like putto holding a chain connected to the devil's horn. This cherub signifies purity and innocence while representing the virtues upheld by those advocating for temperance. The artist skillfully conveys their message through symbolism: urine flowing from the devil's mouth serves as a reminder of degradation caused by excessive consumption. Through this thought-provoking imagery, viewers are compelled to reflect upon their own relationship with alcohol and consider embracing sobriety. "TEMPERANCE" remains an enduring testament to society's ongoing struggle against alcoholism. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its contribution towards raising awareness about responsible drinking—a timeless issue that continues to resonate today.
