From ancient tax collectors to village lawyers, this collection of artworks offers a glimpse into the evolution and significance of writing throughout history. In Quentin Massys' "The Tax Collectors, " painted in the 1520s, we witness a scene that highlights not only the importance of record-keeping but also the power dynamics involved in taxation. The meticulous attention to detail showcases how writing was an essential tool for administrative purposes during this period. Fast forward to Brueghel's "The Payment of Tithes, " created between 1617 and 1622, where we encounter a village lawyer engrossed in legal documents. This painting serves as a reminder that writing played a crucial role in matters of justice and governance, ensuring fair distribution within communities. Leo Schnug's bookplate from 1890 takes us into more modern times, depicting "The Copyist. " Here we see an individual dedicated to transcribing texts with precision and care. This artwork pays homage to those who painstakingly preserved knowledge through their skilled penmanship. Moving on to Diderot and d'Alembert's iconic Encyclopedie from 1751-1765, we are introduced to "The Art of Writing. " This engraving beautifully captures various tools used by writers - quills, inkwells, parchment - symbolizing human creativity unleashed through written expression. Jean-Etienne Liotard's masterpiece titled "L'Ecriture (The Writing)" transports us further into the realm of elegance and refinement. Painted in 1752, it portrays a lady gracefully engaged in letter-writing while surrounded by luxurious fabrics and decorative elements. It reminds us that writing can be both practical and artistic. Scientific inquiry is not left out either; glimpses into laboratories reveal scientists at work, meticulously documenting their observations and discoveries.
