EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Old age and poverty" takes us back to the 15th century, showcasing miniatures from the Roman de la Rose. The illustration is part of a larger work called Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance by Paul Lacroix and Ferdinand Sere, published in Paris between 1848-51. The image portrays an elderly woman, her face weathered with time and hardship, symbolizing old age and poverty. Her worn attire reflects her destitution, while her weary expression speaks volumes about the struggles she has endured throughout her life. This poignant depiction reminds us of the harsh realities faced by many during this era. The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring attention to both the woman's plight and the artistic talent of the French School from which it originates. The intricate costume design further adds depth to this historical piece. Beyond its aesthetic value, this print also serves as a window into European history and literature. It offers insight into societal attitudes towards illness during that period when diseases such as flu or sexually transmitted diseases were prevalent but often misunderstood. As we admire this remarkable artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, let us reflect on how far we have come in terms of social progress while acknowledging that there are still battles against poverty and inequality yet to be won.
