"Mammon" is a painting created in 1884 by the English artist George Frederick Watts. Known for his allegorical works, Watts sought to convey moral and philosophical messages through his art, and "Mammon" is a prime example of this approach. The painting depicts Mammon, the personification of greed and material wealth, as a powerful and oppressive figure. He is shown as a corpulent, menacing giant, crowned and seated on a throne, embodying the destructive nature of avarice.

In the composition, Mammon is seen crushing two human figures beneath his weight, symbolizing the subjugation and suffering caused by the relentless pursuit of wealth. The figures appear emaciated and lifeless, emphasizing the dehumanizing effects of greed. Watts uses a dark and somber palette to enhance the painting's grim atmosphere, with stark contrasts between light and shadow that draw attention to the central figure of Mammon and his victims.

Watts' "Mammon" reflects the socio-economic concerns of the Victorian era, a time when industrialization and capitalism were rapidly transforming society. The painting serves as a critique of the moral decay and social inequalities that Watts perceived as being exacerbated by the unchecked pursuit of wealth. By personifying greed in such a vivid and unsettling manner, Watts aimed to provoke contemplation and self-reflection among his viewers.

"Mammon" is part of Watts' broader oeuvre, which often explored themes of morality, justice, and the human condition. The painting is housed in the Watts Gallery – Artists' Village in Compton, Surrey, a museum dedicated to the artist's work. Through "Mammon" and other works, George Frederick Watts has left a lasting legacy as a painter deeply concerned with the ethical dimensions of human life.
