EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Torment of the Proud - Valley of Burning Sulphur" a masterpiece created by Simon Marmion, a renowned Flemish artist active during the 15th century. The artwork, originating from Ghent, Belgium in 1475, is composed using tempera colors, gold leaf, gold paint, and ink on parchment. In this striking piece, Marmion depicts a scene filled with torment and anguish. The valley depicted is engulfed in flames of burning sulfur as proud individuals suffer their punishment for their arrogance and hubris. The intense heat radiates from the image itself as if one could feel the scorching temperatures just by gazing at it. Marmion's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; each figure's expression portrays an overwhelming sense of agony and despair. As viewers observe this powerful composition, they are transported into a realm where consequences for prideful actions become tangible. "The Torment of the Proud - Valley of Burning Sulphur" serves as a reminder that humility should prevail over excessive pride. It invites contemplation about our own actions and attitudes towards others while urging us to reflect upon the potential repercussions that may arise from unchecked arrogance. As we admire this remarkable work captured through photography, we are reminded once again why Simon Marmion remains an influential figure within European art history.
