EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Philips Galle from 1563, titled "Negative emotions have an influence on humans" we are presented with a thought-provoking depiction of the power that negative emotions hold over us. The image showcases various personifications of these destructive feelings, such as envy, covetousness, and pride. The central figure in the artwork is a man who appears to be under attack from these personifications. His face reflects pain, sorrow, and sadness as he grapples with the overwhelming weight of his own wrong-mindedness. This visual representation serves as a reminder that our minds can often become battlegrounds where negative emotions intrude and beset us. Galle's use of symbolism further emphasizes the detrimental impact of these vices on human character. A mirror represents self-reflection and insight into one's actions while a rod symbolizes punishment for succumbing to negative impulses. Through this artwork, Galle highlights how our wrong-mindedness can lead people astray through public opinion or misguided conscience. It serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of allowing greed and other negative emotions to dominate our thoughts and actions. Quint Lox's interpretation adds depth to this historical piece by capturing its essence in modern times. By exploring themes such as pathos, introspection, and societal pressures within this image, Lox invites viewers to reflect upon their own struggles with negativity in today's world.
