Virtue and Vice.
ReplyDeleteHow appealing and innocent and pure vice looks, but behind her back hidden from view is .....well...see for yourself!
Then I look at virtue....snatching him away from vice...
Immediately I thought that our featured artist must have been inspired by the Scripture Jude 1:23
"save others by snatching them out of the fire; on others have mercy with fear, 14 abhorring even the outer garment stained by the flesh."
There is a lot in today's FAF...I will return and visit the other prints later on.
I find this Vice and Virtue very 'heavy duty'.
Thanks for FAF, once again, Es.
I know it takes time to research and search for prints which catch your eye.
I am grateful for this .
Mahalo for taking the time to really observe that one Teresa!
ReplyDeleteIt hit me as soon as I viewed the print! Strong message in that one.
ReplyDeleteOne more thing I notice about Renaissance art....fat and stocky was the 'in' thing.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. That was the look men liked I guess....
