EDITORS COMMENTS
Envy (Invidia) from The Seven Deadly Sins, 1558. This print by Philip Galle transports us back to the 16th century, where the concept of envy is vividly depicted. In this intricate engraving, Galle skillfully captures the essence of envy through a flemish coastal landscape. The central focus of the artwork is a monstrous creature representing envy itself. With its bird-like features and menacing gaze, it symbolizes the destructive nature of this deadly sin. Surrounding this creature are various birds, including chickens and cockerels, which further emphasize the theme of jealousy and rivalry among individuals. Galle's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print - from the delicate engravings on each feather to the expressive faces of men observing from afar. The artist masterfully combines elements of geography and heritage art to create a thought-provoking composition that transcends time. As we delve into this artwork, we are reminded of our own vulnerability to envy's grip. It serves as a cautionary tale about how unchecked jealousy can lead to destruction both within ourselves and in our relationships with others. This print stands as a testament to Philip Galle's artistic prowess in capturing complex emotions through visual storytelling. It invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences with envy while appreciating the timeless beauty found within this piece.
