EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century, titled "Enraged woman, about to throw a crucifix" captures a moment of intense emotion and turmoil. The image showcases an enraged woman on the verge of throwing a crucifix, symbolizing her anger and defiance against religious conventions. The woman's expression is filled with fury and resentment, as she challenges societal norms and embraces her own individuality. Her actions may be seen as unchristian or impure by some, but they also reflect her refusal to conform to expectations imposed upon her. Dressed in luxurious ermine fur, she exudes an air of worldly sophistication that contrasts with the traditional symbolism of purity associated with the crucifix. This juxtaposition highlights the complexity of human emotions and desires. The artwork delves into themes related to the seven deadly sins - wrath being particularly evident here - exploring how these vices can consume individuals when left unchecked. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly virtuous settings, such strong feelings can arise. Through this powerful engraving, we are invited to contemplate our own capacity for rage and rebellion against societal constraints. It prompts us to question whether suppressing our true emotions in favor of conformity is truly beneficial or if it ultimately leads to inner turmoil. This print is part of Valerie Jackson Harris Collection housed in a private collection today; its historical significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its ability to provoke thought on timeless aspects of human nature.
