This anonymous 16th-century glass painting, "Ruit met De Triomf van de Hoogmoed (Superbia)," depicts the allegorical Triumph of Pride. The central figure, Superbia, sits on a chariot drawn by two horses, surrounded by figures representing the vices associated with Pride. These include Insidia (deceit), Invidia (envy), and Magnificentia (magnificence), all inscribed with their corresponding names in Latin. The scene is set against the backdrop of a Roman cityscape, hinting at the origins of the allegory, and the piece is considered a fascinating example of the visual language of moral instruction in the Renaissance period.
