From 19 October 2024 to 12 January 2025, the Bonnefanten museum presents the exhibition Good & Evil: The Seven Deadly Sins in Art. This unique show offers a fascinating perspective on good and evil, both in Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s time and today. Eleven works from our collection provide an unconventional view on good and evil in sixteenth-century art.

The exhibition centers on Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s famous 1558 print series depicting the seven deadly sins—pride, sloth, gluttony, envy, anger, lust, and greed. Surrounding these prints are works by his predecessors, contemporaries, and followers, ranging from accessible consumer art to valuable collector’s pieces.
