7 versus 7
2015Initially I wanted to portray only the 7 Sins. Three days after my wedding, my dear friend Edith died, together with her husband and their son, in the Ukraine plane-disaster MH17. I decided to portray her in this painting in the dress she wore at my wedding. That's how the 7 Virtues marched in. In the Medieval days of Jheronimus Bosch, one actually 'lived' with Satan, Hell, Sins and Virtues. This is the theme of the painting. Now follows a clarification of the figures. The 7 ( deadly) Sins: Pride: Satan; he confronts the viewer. Greed: is depicted by the flea which brought the Plague with his long snout and multiple layerd fur coat. Lust: the naked woman with the octopus. Envy: as leviathan with huge and dreadful jaws. Gluttony: the Lord of the Flies. He possesses his eggs. Wrath: the angry dragon. Sloth: the dozing man with a cocktail in his hand. The 7 Virtues Charity: my friend Edith who cared so much for other people. Chastity: the books. Temperance: the traditional clothed woman who stands for frugality. Justice: the same woman with closed eyes, hands on the back and scales at the yoke instead of buckets. Diligence: the lion. Faith: impression of the Saint John's Cathedral in 's-Hertogenbosch. Hope: the anchor, lifted by a little bird. There are more figures and symbols. In the glass ball the painter Jheronimus Bosch is portrayed as a frog, holding a palette with the colours of Oeteldonk, which is the name of 's-Hertogenbosch during Carnival. I have attended these festivities for many years.
