EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "Children of the devil living in fornication" transports us back to the 15th century German School. The intricate details and symbolism depicted in this artwork are truly mesmerizing. Taken from Eduard Fuchs' renowned book "Illustrierte Sittengeschichte von Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart" (Illustrated History of Manners from the Middle Ages to the Present), this illustration offers a glimpse into the moral climate of that era. It serves as a powerful reminder of Christian values and beliefs prevalent during that time. The image portrays a scene filled with demons, devils, and children engaging in debauchery and profligacy. These sinful acts represent the seven deadly sins, reminding viewers of their consequences on both an individual level and society as a whole. Through its historical significance, this woodcut print sheds light on medieval legends and myths surrounding faith and belief systems. Its inclusion in Fuchs' work adds depth to our understanding of societal norms throughout history. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece from Fine Art Finder's private collection, allowing us to appreciate its artistic brilliance even today. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to an era where religious influence played a significant role in shaping cultural values and behaviors.
