EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "POSADA: SEVEN DEADLY SINS" we are transported to the early 20th century through a type metal engraving by Jos. The image depicts a wealthy man who finds himself relentlessly pursued by the ominous presence of the Seven Deadly Sins. As he stands in the center, his face etched with pride and arrogance, he is surrounded by an array of menacing figures representing each sin. The devil lurks behind him, whispering temptations into his ear, while a fearsome dragon symbolizes greed and insatiable desire. Anger manifests as a fiery demon, ready to consume all reason and compassion. Sloth takes shape as a lethargic figure draped over the rich man's shoulder, urging him towards laziness and indifference. Meanwhile, gluttony appears as an obese monster devouring everything in its path, while lust seductively entwines itself around his legs. Envy looms nearby with green eyes filled with jealousy for what others possess. José Guadalupe Posada masterfully captures these vices within one powerful composition that reflects both Latin American culture and Mesoamerican influences. With intricate details and expert craftsmanship, this engraving serves as a stark reminder of humanity's constant struggle against evil impulses. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork from Granger Art on Demand's collection, we are reminded of our own vulnerabilities to these sins but also inspired to resist their allure and strive for virtuous living instead.
