EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Four Beggars" from Jacques Lagniet's 'Recueil des plus Illustres Proverbes' is a poignant depiction of poverty and hardship in the 17th century. The image shows four standing men wearing tattered clothes, their faces weathered by life on the streets as beggars. Each man's clothing is worn and torn, symbolizing their destitute circumstances. Their hats are pulled low over their faces, hiding expressions that likely reflect years of struggle and suffering. Despite their hardships, there is a sense of dignity in the way they stand together, united in their shared plight. The artist has captured the essence of these men's lives with remarkable detail and sensitivity. From the texture of their garments to the weariness in their posture, every element tells a story of resilience in the face of adversity. As we gaze upon this powerful illustration, we are reminded of the enduring presence of poverty throughout history and across cultures. These four beggars may be long gone, but their legacy lives on through this evocative artwork that continues to resonate with viewers today.
