"Discovering the Masterpieces of Philipp Galleus: A Journey Through Art and Morality" Step into the world of renowned Flemish engraver, Philipp Galleus, as we explore his captivating works that delve into themes ranging from biblical parables to human vices and virtues. In "The Parable of the Good Shepherd, " created in 1565, Galleus skillfully depicts Jesus as the caring shepherd tending to his flock with love and compassion. This powerful image serves as a reminder of divine guidance and protection. "The Death of the Virgin, " completed in 1574, portrays a poignant scene capturing Mary's passing surrounded by grieving disciples. Galleus' attention to detail evokes deep emotions while honoring her significance within Christianity. Galleus also delves into human nature through his series on The Seven Deadly Sins. In "Anger (Ira), " "Lust (Luxuria), " and "Sloth (Desidia)" from 1558, he presents vivid illustrations exposing these destructive tendencies that plague humanity throughout history. Furthermore, Galleus explores envy in his work titled "Envy (Invidia). " This piece offers a thought-provoking reflection on how jealousy can poison relationships and corrode one's own happiness. On a contrasting note, Galleus celebrates virtuous qualities in pieces such as "Hope (Spes)" from The Virtues series dating back to 1559-60. Here he captures hope's essence through an uplifting portrayal that inspires resilience even during challenging times. Religious narratives continue to captivate viewers in works like "The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins" from ca. 1560-63 where Galleus illustrates Christ's teachings about preparedness for eternal life. Glimpses into resurrection are offered through pieces like "The Resurrection" created around 1562-63.
