"Crudelitas" (Cruelty) is an engraving by the Flemish artist Maarten de Vos, created in the late 16th century as part of a series depicting various vices and virtues. This particular work is an allegorical representation of the vice of cruelty. In the engraving, de Vos illustrates the destructive and inhumane nature of cruelty through a series of violent and disturbing images, designed to evoke moral reflection and condemnation of the vice.

Maarten de Vos (1532–1603) was a prolific painter and draughtsman who became known for his contributions to the Northern Mannerist style. His works often contained complex iconography and were characterized by their detailed execution and vibrant compositions. "Crudelitas" is no exception, showcasing de Vos's skill in conveying intricate moral narratives through visual art.

The engraving is part of a tradition in Renaissance art that sought to educate and influence the viewer through depictions of allegorical figures and narratives. These works were not only appreciated for their aesthetic qualities but also for their didactic function. "Crudelitas" would have been used as a tool for teaching about the consequences of immoral behavior, and as such, it reflects the cultural and ethical values of its time.

As with many of de Vos's engravings, "Crudelitas" was likely disseminated widely, contributing to the spread of Renaissance humanist thought. The work remains an important example of the Northern Renaissance's engagement with moral and philosophical issues through the medium of printmaking.
