EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Good and bad ways to get rich" by Philips Galle and Hadrianus Junius from 1563, we are presented with a thought-provoking depiction of the various paths one can take in their pursuit of wealth. The image is filled with symbolic representations that shed light on the positive and negative effects that come along with each approach. The central focus of the print is a procession led by two personifications: Wealth (Opulenza) and Misery (Miseria). They hold hands, emphasizing how closely intertwined these contrasting states can be. Surrounding them are figures representing different qualities such as luck, fortune, labor, diligence, cheat, deceit, fate, and thrift. On one side of the composition, we see individuals engaged in honest work - fishing or running businesses - symbolizing the virtues of hard work and carefulness. On the other side lie those who resort to fraudulence or violence to accumulate riches quickly but at great cost. This stark contrast highlights the ethical dilemma faced by those seeking financial success. Through this intricate artwork, Galle and Junius remind us that true prosperity lies not only in collecting money but also in embodying positive qualities while doing so. It serves as a timeless reminder that our choices have consequences; whether they lead us towards opulence or misery depends on our adherence to principles like honesty and integrity. Quint Lox's interpretation captures both the complexity of human nature when it comes to wealth accumulation and invites viewers to reflect
