EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Payment of Salaries to the Night Watchmen in the Camera del Comune of Siena, 1440-60" takes us back to 15th century Italy. This tempera on panel artwork, created by an anonymous Italian School artist, measures 28.5x25 cm and is housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. In this painting, we are transported into the heart of Siena's municipal office known as the Camera del Comune. The scene depicts a painted bookshelf showcasing a crucial aspect of law and order during that time - the payment of salaries to night watchmen. These dedicated men were responsible for patrolling and ensuring safety throughout the city during nighttime hours. The image portrays a group of diligent night watchmen gathered around a desk with lanterns illuminating their faces. They eagerly await their hard-earned wages while one man counts out coins on a counter before them. Their presence exudes dedication and commitment to protecting their community. This Renaissance masterpiece not only captures an important moment in history but also showcases skilled craftsmanship through its intricate details and vibrant colors typical of Sienese art. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, laborers played vital roles in upholding law and order within society. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this snapshot from our past, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic brilliance today.
