EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Poverty follows Wealth" by Gillis van Breen and Cornelius Schonaeus, we are presented with a thought-provoking scene that beautifully captures the stark contrast between affluence and destitution. The image portrays a young couple walking arm in arm, with the well-dressed lady exuding an air of wealth and privilege. However, what truly catches our attention is the woman in ragged clothes who is desperately trying to keep up with them. This powerful visual representation serves as a personification of poverty chasing after riches. The torn clothing on her skirt and sleeves symbolize her impoverished state, while her determined expression reveals her relentless pursuit for a better life. Despite starting from too far behind, she still pulls herself forward in hopes of escaping the clutches of poverty. The artists skillfully capture this poignant moment through their masterful use of light and shadow, enhancing the emotional impact of the photograph. Quint Lox's expert printing technique further adds depth to this historical masterpiece from 1595-1605. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork from Liszt Collection, it compels us to reflect on society's unequal distribution of wealth throughout history. It reminds us that even amidst opulence, there are those who struggle to survive. This evocative piece invites viewers to ponder upon issues such as social inequality and compassionately consider how we can contribute towards creating a more equitable world for all individuals regardless of their socioeconomic status.
