EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection titled "Envy (Inividia) The Fortunes of Life" depicts a thought-provoking scene that delves into the complexities of human emotions and desires. At its center is Envy, a slender woman with exposed breasts, striding confidently towards the right. She holds a snake in her right hand while sinking her teeth into a heart, symbolizing her insatiable craving for what others possess. Behind Envy looms an ominous oven emitting thick clouds of smoke, representing the fiery consequences that envy can ignite within us. In front of this industrial structure, men and women engage in heated arguments, their faces filled with frustration and discontentment. This portrayal captures the destructive nature of envy as it fuels quarrels and lovers' tiffs. Number 4 in a series exploring virtues and vices that shape our destinies, this artwork personifies Invidia (Ripa), one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Created by Zacharias Dolendo around 1596-1597 using paper engraving techniques, it measures 230 mm in height by 168 mm in width. The image evokes contemplation on how envy can poison relationships and erode personal happiness. It serves as a reminder to reflect upon our own desires and appreciate what we already have rather than succumbing to jealousy's corrosive grip.
