This work belongs to a series depicting the Triumphs of the Seven Deadly Sins, a popular subject in sixteenth-century Northern European print culture. The composition follows the tradition of the Roman triumphal procession, adapted here to serve as a moralising allegory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the centre of the scene, a figure representing Pride sits atop an ornate chariot. She holds a mirror, a traditional attribute of vanity, while a peacock perches behind her. The chariot is pulled by horses guided by a figure representing Contempt. Surrounding the central group are various personifications of related vices, including Invidia (Envy) and Curiositas (Curiosity), each identified by Latin inscriptions. The background features a stylised cityscape with classical architectural elements, such as an obelisk and a triumphal arch, which provide a sense of scale and historical context typical of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCort employs a sophisticated system of hatching and cross-hatching to define the forms, textures, and shadows within the scene. The line work is precise, allowing for the clear articulation of the figures, the musculature of the horses, and the decorative details of the chariot. The print reflects the technical mastery of Cort, who was instrumental in disseminating the designs of Italian and Northern artists through his skilled engraving technique. The inclusion of Latin text at the bottom of the image provides a narrative framework, explaining the allegorical relationships between the figures depicted. This print offers a glimpse into the intellectual and moral preoccupations of the Renaissance, where classical forms were frequently utilised to convey Christian ethical lessons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/hieronymus-scottus-placentinus-dominicus-custos\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eHieronymus Scottus Placentinus - Dominicus Custos — Dominicus Custos\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/mary-toft-apparently-giving-birth-to-rabbits-william-hogarth\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMary Toft, apparently giving birth to rabbits - William Hogarth — William Hogarth\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cornelis Cort","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58428658221391,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58428696002895,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58428696035663,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58428696068431,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58428696101199,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58428696133967,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58428696166735,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58428696199503,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58428696232271,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58428696265039,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58428696297807,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58428696330575,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Triumph-of-Pride_Poster_CompositorV1_1786169284815.jpg?v=1786225698","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/the-triumph-of-pride-cornelis-cort","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
