EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Anger (Ira), from the series of The Seven Deadly Sins" transports us to a world of intense emotions and moral contemplation. Engraved by Pieter van der Heyden and published by Hieronymus Cock in 1558, this masterpiece is a testament to the artistic genius of Bruegel, Pieter the Elder. The image depicts a scene filled with raw human emotion. A soldier stands at the center, his face contorted with rage as he brandishes a knife. Surrounding him are various elements symbolizing anger: a tent, a treehouse, and even an unsettling sight of someone being roasted on a spit. This composition reflects rural discontent and serves as an allegory for the deadly sin itself. Bruegel's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this engraving. The Latin quotation taken from Ovid's Ars Amatoria further enhances our understanding of the artwork - "Their faces swell, their veins grow black with rage". It encapsulates the destructive power that anger holds over individuals. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of our own capacity for passion and vice. It serves as both a warning against succumbing to such negative emotions and an invitation to reflect on how they shape our lives. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this timeless piece continues to captivate viewers centuries after its creation. Its significance lies not only in its artistic brilliance but also in its ability to provoke introspection about one
