The aim of this paper is to look at the works of William Shakespeare and the seven deadly sins from the perspective of painting. The seven deadly sins include pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth. The paper presents, among others, an analysis of the painting by Hieronymus Bosch with that very title – The Seven Deadly Things and the Four Last Things, with reference to such works by Shakespeare as A Comedy of Errors, Richard III or Twelfth Night.
