"The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins" (holl., Bast.123; L.39) is an engraving by the renowned Flemish Renaissance artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder, created in the mid-16th century. This work is a visual interpretation of the biblical parable found in the Gospel of Matthew (25:1-13), which contrasts the fates of wise and foolish virgins as a moral lesson on vigilance and preparedness for the Kingdom of Heaven.

Bruegel's engraving is notable for its intricate detail and the way it captures the essence of the parable through a complex and dynamic composition. The scene is divided into two distinct groups: the wise virgins, who are prepared with oil for their lamps, and the foolish virgins, who are caught unprepared and are subsequently shut out from the wedding feast. The wise virgins are depicted with calm and composed expressions, their lamps burning brightly, symbolizing their readiness and foresight. In contrast, the foolish virgins are shown in a state of panic and despair, their lamps extinguished, representing their lack of preparation and the dire consequences of their negligence.

Bruegel's work is characterized by its rich symbolism and attention to detail, which invite viewers to reflect on the moral and spiritual lessons of the parable. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as his ability to convey emotion through the figures' expressions and body language, enhances the narrative and underscores the themes of wisdom, folly, and divine judgment.

This engraving is part of Bruegel's broader oeuvre, which often includes moralistic and didactic themes, rendered with a keen eye for human behavior and societal norms. "The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins" stands as a testament to Bruegel's skill as an engraver and his ability to translate complex theological concepts into compelling visual art.
