EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the essence of infernal punishment in Hell for one of the Seven Deadly Sins. The Prideful, both men and women, are depicted as broken on the wheel, enduring excruciating torment as a consequence of their arrogance and self-importance. Created by an unknown French artist in 1496, this woodcut serves as a powerful allegory that warns against the dangers of excessive pride. In this medieval depiction, nudity is used to symbolize vulnerability and exposure to divine judgment. The twisted bodies on the wheel evoke feelings of cruelty and suffering, emphasizing the severity of their punishment. Satan looms in the background, overseeing this macabre scene with malevolent satisfaction. The woodcut's intricate details showcase its artistic craftsmanship while conveying a moral message deeply rooted in Christianity. It serves as a reminder that pride can lead to damnation and eternal suffering if left unchecked. Although originating from late medieval times when religious imagery was prevalent across Europe, this artwork transcends time and remains relevant today. Its themes resonate beyond Christian teachings; they touch upon universal human flaws that transcend religion or belief systems. As we gaze upon this chilling image captured over five centuries ago, it compels us to reflect on our own actions and reminds us to strive for humility rather than succumbing to destructive pride.
