EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "HELL: SEVEN DEADLY SINS" transports viewers to the depths of infernal punishment. Created in 1496, this French colored woodcut vividly depicts one of the Seven Deadly Sins - lust. The scene is a haunting portrayal of sinners engulfed in fire and brimstone, their bodies writhing in agony. The artist skillfully personifies lust through both men and women who are stripped bare, emphasizing vulnerability and temptation. As they succumb to their desires, they find themselves trapped within a cauldron of eternal damnation. Flames lick at their flesh while brimstone fills the air with its acrid scent. This medieval allegory serves as a stark reminder of the consequences that await those who give in to sinful pleasures. It draws from Christian teachings on morality and judgment but also resonates with themes found in Judaism's understanding of hell. The image evokes a sense of dread and horror as it confronts us with our own mortality. Death looms over these damned souls, reminding us that evil deeds have dire consequences beyond our mortal existence. Sarin Images / The Granger Collection has masterfully captured this timeless artwork, allowing us to reflect on the dangers posed by unchecked desire and the importance of resisting temptation.
