Focus on The Sin (Stuck) and discuss the Analysis.
According to contemporary interpreters, the painting was supposed to show the woman with her supposedly "insatiable sexuality" as a "man's seductress". Today's interpretations see in it rather the scenic, flat and shadowy nature of the composition. Accordingly, the snake only presents the woman's body in order to give it the role of a lure. Anyone who is attracted to it has to fear the hell fire, symbolized as an orange area in the top right. Stuck cleverly uses elements of contemporary morality, such as those advocated by the Church, to wield power over the human sex drive. Stuck uses and reduces the female body as a tool for his own will to power in relation to his career, recognition and material wealth.
