EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Marius Van Romerswael's painting "Two Usurers" from the 16th century. Created in 1890, this image showcases two men engrossed in their occupation as money lenders or loan sharks. The concept of greed and grasping for wealth is vividly portrayed through their expressions and body language. The Dutch artist, Marinus Claesz van Reymerswaele, known for his detailed depictions of finance-related subjects, inspired this artwork. The unknown creator of this print skillfully brings to life the characters from Van Romerswael's original piece. In this portrait, we see these usurers diligently working with a ledger and newspapers spread out before them. Their job involves lending money at high interest rates, making them notorious figures in society during that time period. These individuals were often despised due to their exploitative practices. The Victorian era setting adds an intriguing historical context to the photograph. It reflects a time when financial matters held significant importance in Britain and other parts of Europe. "The Two Usurers" serves as a reminder of the profession's impact on people's lives during the 16th century Low Countries. This image offers viewers a glimpse into an occupation that was both influential yet morally questionable within society at that time.
