EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Two Bankers or Usurers" by Marinus van Reymerswaele takes us back to the 16th century, offering a glimpse into the world of finance and greed. The painting, held by the National Gallery in London, showcases two individuals engrossed in their occupation as moneylenders. In this intriguing image, we see a man and a woman dressed in vibrant pink attire. The man wears an elegant hat while meticulously writing on currency notes with intense focus. His counterpart, a lady with a rose pinned to her dress, holds a coin as she gazes at it contemplatively. Both figures exude an air of desperation and cunningness that characterizes their profession. Van Reymerswaele's mastery is evident through his attention to detail and use of color. The rich hues bring life to the scene, highlighting the opulence associated with banking during that era. This artwork from Verve magazine provides us with valuable insight into 16th-century Dutch society where bankers played crucial roles in financial transactions. It serves as a reminder that concepts such as greed and wealth have existed throughout history. As we observe this thought-provoking piece today, it prompts us to reflect on our own relationship with money and how it influences our lives. Van Reymerswaele's portrayal of these two bankers invites us to question whether they are driven solely by profit or if there may be deeper motivations behind their actions. Overall, this striking photo print
