EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching by Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn, titled "Beggar Answering" we are transported back to the year 1634. The print measures a modest 11.8x5.1 cm and is currently housed in the Dallas Museum of Art, Texas, USA. The image depicts a poor man standing with great dignity amidst his impoverished surroundings. His weathered face tells tales of hardship and resilience as he answers an unseen question posed by someone off-camera. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow brings out every crease on the beggar's worn clothing, emphasizing his destitution. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by those living in poverty during Rembrandt's time and continues to resonate with viewers today. It sheds light on issues such as homelessness and societal inequality that persist throughout history. Through this etching, Rembrandt captures not only the physical appearance but also the inner strength of this anonymous beggar. He invites us to reflect upon our own perceptions of poverty and challenges us to see beyond stereotypes. As we gaze at this powerful image from centuries ago, let it serve as a call for compassion towards those less fortunate than ourselves – reminding us that even in times of adversity, there is still humanity worth acknowledging and understanding.
