EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fiducia" transports us back to the 16th century, showcasing a powerful scene from Maerten de Vos' series Virtues conquering vices. In this thought-provoking image, we see a seated woman named Fiducia holding both a book and banner in her hands. However, what catches our attention is her deliberate act of turning away from a bare-breasted woman lying at her feet. The composition is further enhanced by an assemblage of masks scattered on the ground behind them, symbolizing the various disguises that vices can take. The engraving skillfully captures the essence of Flemish mannerism with its intricate details and delicate lines. Johann Sadeler I's masterful execution brings forth the concept of virtue triumphing over sin in this evocative artwork. Fiducia's posture exudes confidence and determination as she chooses to divert her gaze from temptation, emphasizing her commitment to righteousness. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece not only showcases exceptional craftsmanship but also invites viewers to reflect upon their own struggles between vice and virtue.

It stands as a testament to the enduring power of art in capturing timeless human experiences and inspiring contemplation for generations to
