Pride, c1621
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating etching with engraving by the renowned 17th-century French artist Jacques Callot, depicting the personification of the deadly sin of Pride. The artwork is a part of Callot's series "The Seven Deadly Sins," showcasing each sin in vivid detail. In this image, Pride is portrayed as a woman, dressed in an extravagant and ornate attire, adorned with feathers and jewels. She stands confidently, gazing into a looking glass, admiring her reflection. A peacock, a symbol of vanity and self-importance, perches on a chair behind her, adding to the theme of excessive self-love. The black and white contrast of the etching adds depth and texture to the intricate details of the woman's clothing and the feathers of the peacock. The Baroque style, popular during the 1620s, is evident in the dynamic use of light and shadow, as well as the dramatic, theatrical poses of the figures. This print, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the 17th century. The figure of Pride, with her confident and self-absorbed demeanor, continues to resonate with viewers today, serving as a reminder of the dangers of excessive self-love and the destructive power of Pride. Jacques Callot, a master of the etching technique, expertly captured the essence of this sin, creating a timeless work of art that continues to captivate and inspire. The intricate details, the use of symbolism, and the powerful imagery make "Pride, c1621" a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, fashion, and the human condition.
