The Seven Deadly Sins
Central to this exhibition is the renowned print series after Pieter Bruegel the Elder in which evil is depicted: The Seven Deadly Sins from 1558. Around this print series we show the precursors and sources of inspiration, works by contemporaries and imitators depicting the same themes. From cheap consumer art to precious collector's pieces.
"In this exhibition, an explicit choice has been to show art of lesser quality, such as that made for mass consumption, among the masterpieces." – Curator Jip van Reijen
