EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of social inequality and poverty in 17th century Europe. The engraving, titled "Beggar with his begging bowl" is a reproduction of an original work by Pieter Jansz Quast from the 1630s. It depicts a destitute beggar, his weathered face reflecting years of hardship and struggle. The image transports us to a time when life for the common people was marked by precariousness and penury. The beggar's tattered clothing and worn-out begging bowl serve as poignant symbols of his marginalized existence. In this scene, we witness the stark contrast between the opulence enjoyed by some and the abject poverty endured by others. Quast's masterful engraving technique brings out every intricate detail, highlighting not only the physical appearance but also capturing the emotional depth of this peasant-type figure. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the harsh realities faced by those living on society's fringes during that era. As we contemplate this powerful image, it serves as a reminder that social inequalities have persisted throughout history. This photograph print allows us to reflect on our own society today and consider how far we have come in addressing these issues or if there is still much work to be done.
