EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 19th century takes us back to the bustling world of wholesale dealers in 15th-century Belgium. Created by Thurwanger Freres, this stained glass window panel was originally part of the Cathedral of Tournai and now serves as a vivid reminder of historical trade practices. In this vibrant scene, we witness a group of male merchants engaged in their daily activities. With intense focus, they meticulously measure and weigh various goods using traditional weighing scales and devices. The attention to detail is remarkable, showcasing their commitment to accuracy in commerce during that era. The rich colors and intricate details captured in this print bring these characters to life, allowing us to imagine ourselves amidst the hustle and bustle of a busy marketplace centuries ago. Each figure exudes an air of authority and expertise as they negotiate deals with customers or fellow traders. Located in Hainaut province, Tournai served as a prominent trading hub during the fifteenth century. This image transports us directly into its vibrant streets where sellers showcased their wares while buyers eagerly sought out quality merchandise. Thanks to Paul Lacroix's collaboration with Ferdinand Sere and A Rivaud on "Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance" we have been granted access to this extraordinary snapshot from history. As we admire this stunning piece of artistry today, it reminds us not only of our shared heritage but also highlights the timeless nature of trade throughout human civilization.
