EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Beggar and two young bourgeois - in 'Popular Scenes' by Edme Pigal, 1824" we are transported back to a time when social classes were starkly divided. The scene depicts a beggar, leaning on his crutch for support, as he encounters two well-dressed young bourgeois individuals. The contrast between the destitute beggar and the affluent bourgeoisie is striking. It serves as a poignant reminder of the inequalities that existed during this period. The artist, Edme Pigal, skillfully captures the emotions and tensions present in this encounter. The engraving evokes feelings of sympathy towards the beggar's plight while also highlighting society's indifference towards those less fortunate. Through his artistry, Pigal prompts us to question our own attitudes towards charity and compassion. Leonard de Selva's masterful reproduction of this artwork ensures that its message resonates with viewers even today. By preserving every intricate detail of Pigal's original work, de Selva allows us to delve into history and contemplate how far we have come in terms of societal progress. This print serves as a powerful visual commentary on class divisions and acts as a catalyst for discussions surrounding poverty alleviation and social responsibility. It reminds us that art has always been an instrument for reflection and change – inspiring empathy within us all.
