Pride in the Kitchen
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment of culinary excellence and indulgence, as depicted in this print from the 19th century. Part of a series portraying the Seven Deadly Sins, this particular image focuses on the sin of pride. In this vibrant lithograph, we are transported to a luxurious kitchen where an esteemed chef proudly presents his masterpiece – an exquisite sugar sculpture that stands tall and majestic at the center of attention. With a monocle perched upon his eye, he inspects every detail meticulously, ensuring perfection in both taste and presentation. The gourmet delicacy is not only visually stunning but also represents the culmination of skill and artistry. The couple standing beside him gazes with admiration at their accomplished chef, reveling in their own sense of accomplishment through his work. This print encapsulates the essence of sinful pride – an excessive self-importance that can be found even within our most mundane activities such as cooking. It serves as a reminder that while taking pride in one's abilities is essential for growth and success, unchecked arrogance can lead to downfall. Boilly's masterful depiction transports us back to an era where food was not merely sustenance but an expression of wealth and status.

As part of The Stapleton Collection housed within a private collection today, this timeless artwork continues to captivate viewers with its rich
