EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "HELL: SEVEN DEADLY SINS" transports viewers to the depths of infernal punishment. Created in 1496, this French colored woodcut serves as a chilling allegory for one of Christianity's most feared transgressions - pride. The image depicts the prideful souls being broken on the wheel, their bodies contorted in agony and despair. The artist masterfully captures the essence of damnation through intricate details and vivid colors. Each figure, both men and women, is stripped bare, symbolizing vulnerability in the face of divine retribution. Their twisted forms personify the consequences of unchecked hubris. As we gaze upon this medieval masterpiece, we are reminded of humanity's capacity for evil. The rack stands ominously nearby, a tool used to amplify suffering and torment. Satan himself presides over this macabre scene with an air of malevolence. Beyond its religious connotations, this woodcut delves into universal themes such as cruelty and death that transcend time and faiths. It serves as a haunting reminder that our actions have consequences beyond our mortal existence. Sarin Images / The Granger Collection has expertly preserved this historical artifact for us to contemplate centuries later. As we explore its intricacies, let us reflect on our own flaws and strive towards humility before it leads us down a path towards eternal damnation
