EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Beggars receiving alms" we are transported back in time to a bustling market scene filled with compassion and humanity. The image, captured by Quint Lox from the Liszt Collection, showcases Pieter Hendricksz. Schut and Claes Jansz. Visscher (II)'s remarkable artwork from 1628-1650. The focal point of the photograph is a kind-hearted cake saleswoman sitting behind her bakery shelf, surrounded by an array of delicious treats. Her face radiates empathy as she extends her hand to offer food to two blind beggars who kneel before her, humbly asking for alms. This historical scene serves as an emblematic representation of charity and giving in society during that era. It reminds us of the importance of extending help to those less fortunate and emphasizes the moralizing values embedded within such acts. The composition beautifully captures the contrast between abundance and destitution; while the saleswoman's shelves are full, showcasing various breads and sandwiches, the beggars' poverty is evident through their tattered clothing and sightless eyes. Through this poignant image, Quint Lox invites us to reflect on our own capacity for kindness towards others. It serves as a powerful reminder that even small gestures can make a significant impact on someone's life – be it offering sustenance or simply acknowledging their existence. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece brought to life through photography, let us be inspired to extend our hands in generosity
