EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sloth Desidia series Seven Deadly Sins 1558 Engraving" by Artokoloro takes us back to the year 1558, immersing us in a world of intricate engravings. The sheet measures 8 15/16 x 11 5/8 inches (22.7 x 29.6 cm), showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship of Pieter van der Heyden, a Netherlandish artist from the sixteenth century. Inspired by Pieter Bruegel the Elder's original work, this engraving represents vice through its central image: a shabbily dressed woman who demonstratively sleeps her time away. Positioned in the foreground and resting her weight on the back of an ass, she becomes the personification of sloth. The attention to detail is remarkable as every line and stroke brings life to this scene. Van der Heyden skillfully captures not only the physical appearance but also conveys a deeper message about human nature and our tendency towards laziness. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into an era where art was used as a medium for storytelling and moral lessons. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, artists like Van der Heyden sought to depict vices such as sloth with precision and creativity. This print from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate both historical significance and artistic mastery while contemplating our own relationship with idleness in today's fast
