EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Envy and Charity" is a visual representation of contrasting virtues and vices. Created by an anonymous French artist in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of Christian ethics and teachings. The image depicts two figures: Envy and Charity. Envy, represented as a sinister figure with fiery eyes, symbolizes covetousness and evil desires. In contrast, Charity stands as a beacon of generosity and goodwill towards others. The symbolism within this artwork emphasizes the importance of moral values in Roman Catholic teachings. This lithograph was originally created as an illustration for the "Grand Album d Images en Couleurs" to explain the Catechism by Abbe Mouterde in 1899. It serves as an educational tool to convey important messages about good versus evil, sins versus virtues. Through its intricate details and vivid colors, this artwork invites viewers to reflect on their own actions and choices. It reminds us that envy can lead to destructive behavior while charity has the power to uplift individuals and communities. As we observe this piece from our private collection today, it serves as a reminder of the enduring significance of religious instruction in shaping our morals and values. This French masterpiece continues to inspire contemplation on themes such as helping others, practicing kindness, and embracing charitable acts within Christianity.
