EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the engraving "SEVEN VIRTUES: CHARITY" by Philippe Galle, which is based on a pen drawing created in 1559 by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of charity through its intricate details and allegorical representation. In this Renaissance-era piece, we are transported to a humble village setting where acts of kindness and compassion prevail. The central figure, a beggar crying out for help amidst adversity, serves as a powerful symbol of vulnerability and need. Surrounding him are villagers embodying the virtue of charity, offering their assistance with open hearts. The Latin motto inscribed at the bottom further reinforces the message conveyed by this artwork - that we should expect others' misfortunes to befall us eventually. It reminds us that true empathy arises when we can genuinely understand and share in someone else's pain. Pieter Bruegel's masterful pen drawing has been skillfully translated into an exquisite line engraving by Philippe Galle. Every stroke reveals meticulous attention to detail, capturing not only physical features but also emotions and expressions. This print serves as a timeless reminder of the importance of extending our hand to those in need. It encourages us to cultivate within ourselves the virtues necessary for building compassionate communities. As we gaze upon this image, may it inspire us to embrace charity as an integral part of our lives and make a difference in the world around us.
