EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Allegory of the Honor Premium Vertutisque Honoris" showcases a mesmerizing scene filled with symbolism and meaning. In the center, a cherubic putto holds a laurel wreath, palm branch, and olive branch in his tiny hands, representing victory, peace, and wisdom respectively. A table adorned with treasures such as a crown, coins, pearl necklace, and another necklace symbolizes wealth and prosperity. However, amidst this display of honor and opulence stands Pride personified by Superbia from Ripa's Seven Deadly Sins. This figure reminds us that excessive pride can be detrimental to one's character despite external achievements. The crown placed prominently on the table serves as both a symbol of sovereignty and an emblem of power. The artist Pieter van den Berge masterfully captures these allegorical elements in this engraving created between 1686-1737 in Amsterdam. Measuring 276mm high by 170mm wide on paper medium adds to its delicate beauty. This thought-provoking artwork invites viewers to reflect upon the significance of honor while cautioning against arrogance. It serves as a reminder that true virtue lies not only in material possessions but also in humility and integrity.
