Description
This collection draws on illustrations in old books on anatomy, botany and zoology in order to make a dissection of the symbols that tradition has associated from time immemorial with the seven deadly sins. Lust, sloth, gluttony, anger, envy, greed and pride are treated in the Bible and Dante's Divine Comedy as a recurring theme, whilst they are also referred to by Medieval and Renaissance writers alike, pairing a demon with each particular sin, and even an element of alchemy.

The goat, present throughout history and different cultures, always associated with lust, impurity and sin, crowns a human skeleton in this portrayal of the first of the seven mortal sins. A goat as a wet nurse to Zeus in classical Greek culture, as a mount for the Vedic god Agni, and as an animal pulling Thor's chariot.
