Personificatie van de Woede of de Toorn Ira. NL-HlmNHA 1477 53010751

A muscular woman strides forward in a dynamic pose, representing the vice of Wrath. She wears a helmet crested with a cat and is flanked by a bear, both animals traditionally associated with ferocity and rage. In the background, a fortress or city burns, illustrating the physical destruction caused by this emotion.

As part of a series on the Seven Deadly Sins, this work reflects the Renaissance preoccupation with the 'passions of the soul' and the conflict between reason and animalistic impulse. It serves as a visual meditation on the moral philosophy found in both classical and Christian traditions regarding the loss of self-control.
