"Avarice: The All-Consuming Greed" In the depths of human nature lies a cavernous pit, reminiscent of the Cave of Plato. Within this abyss, Jan Saenredam and Cornelis Cornelisz. Van Haarlem painted a vivid depiction in 1604 - an allegory that exposes mankind's insatiable desire for wealth and power. Venturing further into this infernal realm, we encounter HELL itself, where Henry Lord Jermyn succumbs to his unquenchable thirst for material possessions. Eugenio Lucas Velazquez's Allegoric Capricho from 1852 serves as a haunting reminder of the consequences that await those consumed by greed. Yet amidst this darkness, hope flickers like stars on an Astronomical Clock - Prague Orloj. This celestial timepiece reminds us that even in our pursuit of riches, we must not lose sight of higher aspirations and noble virtues. The echoes of history resonate through time with symbols such as the 15th Century Allegorical Apostle Astrolabe. It urges us to seek enlightenment beyond mere accumulation; for true wealth lies not in gold but in wisdom and understanding. Sic itur ad astra scilicet 1681 - thus one ascends to the stars indeed. These words echo through generations as a call to rise above base desires and embrace loftier ideals. Within "La somme le Roy" or Book of vices and virtues, depicted is humanity's struggle against its own vices - sobriety battling gluttony while greed lurks nearby. In these miniature illustrations from ms. 0870 emerges a stark contrast between self-indulgence and moderation. As we navigate life's intricate tapestry, let us remember that wisdom eludes those who prioritize material gain over spiritual growth. For even Moses himself bore witness to divine commandments etched upon stone tablets in both 1841 and c.
