"This altarpiece, made of lead and bronze reliefs embedded in a large wooden structure and framing a plaster bust, shows the taste of Pierre Roche, artist solid scientific background for experimentation and invention of original processes and reflected his interest in the bas-relief and the links between architecture and sculpture. By 1904, the artist dedicated to victims of the Russo-Japanese war four visions that model the following year under the title of Pride, Envy, Wrath and Greed. They enlisted the three reliefs of La Gourmandise, of Lust and Sloth, and a bust of a woman with braided hair, the hands cut off at the wrist are pasted on the ears, and this has all seven deadly sins in 1905 under the title of Deliverance. In 1910, he will confront his allegorical during the Seven Works of Mercy. idealistic profession of faith and anti-determinist, this Symbolist Vision advocates prayer and introspection to escape the contingencies of everyday life and the bad influences of the outside world." - quote source


"Pierre Roche (Paris, 2 August 1855 - Paris, 18 January 1922), pseudonym of Fernand Massignon, was a French sculptor, painter, ceramist and medallist. He was the father to Louis Massignon.

Roche first studied medicine and chemistry in Paris, but then switched to studying painting at the Académie Julian 1873-1878 under Alfred Roll, and exhibited at the Paris Salon 1884-1889.

In 1888 Roche tried sculpture to compete for a monument to Georges Danton, leading to encouragement by sculptor and teacher Jules Dalou. He went on to produce a number of commissioned works, like the fountain April (1906) in the Musée Galliera gardens, and L'Effort (c.1898) in the Jardin du Luxembourg." - quote source

Põrgu (Hell) 1983 from Aeron Alfrey on Vimeo.


 The above animation was created by Rein Raamat, also responsible for the previously shared animated short "Suur Tõll" made a few years prior to Põrgu.

"Põrgu (Hell) is an Estonian animation film by Rein Raamat, Tallinnfilm, 1983. So grotesque and sexual, this animation brings to life three infernally beautiful engravings –  ”The Preacher“, “Cabaret” and “Hell” – created by the Estonian artist Eduard Viiralt in the early 1930s.

Both the engravings and the animation film were created in the time of great uncertainties: in the 1930s Viiralt was reacting to the anticipation of the War; in the 1980s Raamat was having a presentiment of the chaos the USSR’s collapse would bring about. Both Raamat´s and Viiralt´s artworks depict a feast in the time of plague, indulging in surrealistically satirical representations of people’s vices." - quote source
