EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century engraving titled "King Louis IX or Saint Louis examines the bread of poor people and finds that it is dry" we are transported back in time to witness a poignant moment of compassion and empathy. The unknown artist skillfully captures King Louis IX, also known as Saint Louis, as he attentively inspects a piece of bread held by a destitute individual. The scene portrays the king's genuine concern for his subjects' well-being, particularly those who suffer from poverty and hunger. As he delicately holds the loaf in his hands, his furrowed brow reveals both surprise and disappointment at its dryness. This simple act speaks volumes about King Louis IX's commitment to understanding the hardships faced by ordinary people. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of medieval France, with crumbling walls hinting at the struggles endured during that era, this artwork serves as a powerful reminder of historical social inequality. It highlights not only the scarcity of resources but also emphasizes how even basic sustenance was often lacking for those living in poverty. Giancarlo Costa's expert curation brings forth an emotional connection between viewers and this timeless depiction of charity and benevolence. Through this evocative portrayal, we are compelled to reflect on our own role in addressing societal disparities while appreciating King Louis IX's legacy as an empathetic ruler who sought to alleviate suffering among his subjects.
