"Argent Monnaie: A Journey Through the Art and History of Money" Step into a world where art meets currency, as we explore the captivating theme of "argent monnaie. " From masterpieces to illustrations, this collection takes us on a visual voyage through time. In "The Cheat with the Ace of Clubs, " painted between 1630-34, we witness a scene of deception and trickery. The allure of money drives individuals to resort to dishonesty, reminding us of the power it holds over human behavior. "The Money Changer and His Wife, " an oil painting from 1514, depicts a couple immersed in their trade. This artwork serves as a testament to the longstanding profession that revolves around handling currency and its influence on daily life. Fast forward to 1933, where an illustration titled "National Assembly: demonstration by deputies against the tax on parliamentary allowances" captures a momentous event in history. It reminds us that even those in positions of power are not immune to financial concerns. Delve into literature with engravings from Alphonse Lemerre's book "Alphabet. " The letter N introduces us to figures like Negre (blacksmith), Numismate (coin collector), and Nest (a place for nurturing). These intricate prints offer glimpses into various aspects related to money within society during that era. Travel back further in time with another illustration depicting Rome's plunder by Gauls under Brennus in 390 BC. The phrase "Woe to the defeated. " echoes through centuries, emphasizing how wealth can lead nations astray or bring about their downfall. Henri IV addressing a merchant regarding the price of a liard showcases how monetary matters have always been part of everyday conversations. It highlights the importance placed on understanding value and negotiating prices throughout history. However, not all depictions surrounding money are positive or fair-minded. An antisemitic cartoon by Jean Ulysse Roy portrays a Jew collating money from graves, perpetuating harmful stereotypes.
