EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from 1496, titled "HELL: SEVEN DEADLY SINS" depicts the infernal punishment for one of the most notorious transgressions - lust. The scene is a terrifying display of fire and brimstone, where the lustful are engulfed in agonizing torment. The artist skillfully captures the essence of damnation as men and women, stripped bare both physically and metaphorically, writhe in agony amidst cauldrons of scorching flames.
