EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Quint Lox, titled "Famous and infamous rich people" takes us back to the year 1563 with its intricate details and historical references. The artwork showcases a grand procession of male figures from classical history, led by two prominent individuals: Philips Galle and Hadrianus Junius. As we delve into this mesmerizing scene, our eyes are drawn to the opulence that surrounds these rich men. They are adorned in richly embroidered garments, their hands holding precious gemstones and goblets filled with drinks fit for royalty. Each character represents a different facet of wealth - from Croesus, the King of Lydia known for his immense riches; to Midas, whose touch turned everything into gold. The print also alludes to the consequences of greed and obsession with money. We see Crassus contemplating his vast fortune while stitched molten gold symbolizes death as an outcome of excessive wealth. Dictator Sulla stands tall with sword and lance in hand, reminding us that power often accompanies great riches. Through this visual narrative, Lox explores the dichotomy between fame and infamy brought about by wealth. It serves as a reminder that material possessions do not define one's worth or legacy. With meticulous attention to detail and profound symbolism woven throughout the composition, Quint Lox's "Famous and infamous rich people" invites viewers on a journey through time where they can reflect upon the complexities surrounding wealth in antiquity.
