EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Man having to choose between the Virtues and Vices" we are transported into a world of moral dilemma. Painted by Frans Francken II in 1635, this Flemish baroque masterpiece depicts a man standing at the crossroads of good and evil. The scene unfolds with heavenly seraphs floating amidst clouds, bearing the sacred tetragrammaton YHWH, symbolizing God's presence. The man is confronted with an array of allegorical figures representing virtues and vices. On one side, we see angels dancing gracefully around a city fountain, embodying purity and righteousness. On the other side stands a skeleton personifying death and fate. As our protagonist contemplates his decision, he is surrounded by various elements that represent different aspects of human existence. A harpist plays soothing melodies on his instrument while a lute and violoncello lie nearby, evoking harmony through music. In contrast, temptation lurks as drums beat rhythmically alongside dancers entangled in greed and lust. This painting serves as a reminder of the eternal struggle between vice and virtue that each individual faces throughout their life journey. It prompts us to reflect upon our choices and consider the consequences they may bring. Through its vibrant colors and intricate details, this 17th-century artwork transports us into a realm where heaven meets hell – where free will clashes with temptation. It invites viewers to delve deeper into their own moral compasses while marveling at the artistic genius behind Francken's creation.
