介绍（中）	这幅图像代表了贪婪的罪恶，属于《七宗罪》的一系列版画，由彼得·范德海登根据老彼得·勃鲁盖尔的绘画雕刻而成。贪婪的化身，一个穿着时髦的女人，坐在前景中央，愉快地在腿上收集硬币，而一只有毒的蟾蜍就潜伏在她的正前方。贪婪行为及其不幸后果的各种例子，在周围的风景中都有证据，有效地证明了下面铭文的信息："刮贪婪既看不到荣誉也看不到礼貌，既看不见羞耻也看不见神圣的告诫。"七幅版画中的每一幅都遵循着类似的构图方案，邪恶的化身伴随着前景中的象征性动物。勃鲁盖尔还采用了一种常见的场景和"造型"，以希罗尼穆斯·博世的风格描绘了每一个场景，勃鲁盖尔经常被拿来与之比较。《贪婪》以各种奇妙的生物和混乱的混合建筑结构为特色，让人想起博世的作品。勃鲁盖尔有意识地采用了这种令人回忆的风格，与他描绘《七美德》的方式形成了鲜明对比，这是一系列在接下来的几年里创作的版画，所有这些版画都以勃鲁盖尔当代世界的准确版本为背景。
介绍（英）	Representing the vice of greed, this image belongs to a series of prints of the Seven Deadly Sins, engraved by Pieter van der Heyden after drawings by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The personification of greed, a fashionably dressed woman, sits in the central foreground blithely gathering coins in her lap, while a poisonous toad lurks directly in front of her. The various examples of greedy behavior and its unfortunate consequences, in evidence in the surrounding landscape, effectively demonstrate the message of the inscription below: "Scraping Avarice sees neither honor nor courtesy, shame nor divine admonition." Each of the seven prints follows a similar compositional scheme, with the personification of the vice accompanied by a symbolic animal in the foreground. Bruegel also adopted a common setting and "look" for the series by depicting each scene in the style of Hieronymus Bosch, to whom Bruegel was often compared. Greed features an assortment of fantastic creatures and a disjointed arrangement of hybrid architectural structures reminiscent of Bosch's work. This reminiscent style, employed consciously by Bruegel, contrasts sharply with the way he depicted the Seven Virtues, a series of prints executed in the following years—all of them set in an accurate version of Bruegel's contemporary world.
