Sin
The Art of Transgression
Joost JoustraPostscript summary
From medieval depictions of Adam and Eve's original sin and expulsion from Paradise to William Holman Hunt's Scapegoat (1854–55) taking on the sins of the world, this extended essay reviews how artists have explored the concept of human iniquity. Examples discussed range from sensual depictions of the temptations of the flesh to allegorical warnings against dissolution, such as Hogarth's Marriage A-la-Mode(1743–45).
