The Money Changers - A Glimpse into the World of Greed and Finance in Renaissance Flanders
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases Quentin Massys' masterpiece, "The Money Changers" painted around 1530. The oil on panel artwork, housed at the Musee d Art et d Histoire in Geneva, Switzerland, offers a fascinating insight into the bustling world of finance during the Dutch Renaissance. The painting depicts an intricately detailed interior scene where accountants and moneylenders diligently carry out their tasks. With meticulous attention to detail, Massys captures every aspect of this busy office - from stacks of gold coins to well-worn account books meticulously filled with records. Amidst this atmosphere of wealth and prosperity, one cannot help but notice the underlying themes of greed and avarice that permeate throughout.
