Allegorie op de hoogmoed 1578 - 1597

"Allegorie op de hoogmoed" (Allegory of Pride) is a 16th-century engraving by Conrad Goltz. The piece depicts a woman in elaborate clothing, holding a mirror, surrounded by personifications of the seven deadly sins. The woman represents Pride, while the sins are depicted in small scenes around the central figure. The work is a visual representation of the moral philosophy popular in the 16th century, and its use of symbolism and allegory makes it a fascinating example of Northern Renaissance art. The piece can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
