EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "Poverty is Easier to Bear Than Luxury" by the Workshop of Hendrik Goltzius after Karel van Mander I, two prominent Dutch artists from the 17th century. Created around 1592, this piece depicts a thought-provoking scene that explores the contrasting experiences of poverty and luxury. The intricate details of this engraving on laid paper draw viewers into a world where material wealth is juxtaposed with destitution. The composition portrays individuals living in poverty, their faces etched with hardship and resilience. They are depicted engaging in simple activities such as gathering firewood or sharing meager meals, yet there is a sense of unity and strength among them. The title itself suggests that poverty may be easier to bear than luxury. It invites contemplation about the complexities of human existence and challenges our preconceived notions about happiness and contentment. Through masterful craftsmanship, Goltzius's workshop captures both the physical realities and emotional depths associated with different socio-economic circumstances. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to an era when art served as a powerful medium for social commentary. This work serves as a timeless reminder that true fulfillment can often be found amidst adversity rather than opulence alone.
