Avarice. A miniature with scenes of banking
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by the Master of the Cocharelli Codex, an artist active around 1330. This remarkable artwork, found in the esteemed collection of the British Library, delves into the theme of avarice and its association with banking practices during medieval times. The intricate watercolor on parchment composition depicts various scenes that symbolize the vices and consequences associated with greed and stinginess. The repentant figures portrayed within this piece serve as cautionary reminders of the sinful nature of excessive wealth accumulation. The imagery transports us to Genoa, where corrupt practices such as bribery and embezzlement were prevalent in medieval banking institutions like Banco di San Giorgio (Bank of Saint George). Through this allegorical representation, we gain insight into how avarice can lead to corruption and moral decay. This print not only showcases fine artistry but also serves as a historical document shedding light on medieval banking systems. It offers viewers an opportunity to explore themes such as opulence, abundance, prosperity, and affluence within society's pursuit of wealth. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking masterpiece from centuries past, it reminds us to reflect on our own relationship with money and material possessions while contemplating how these timeless themes continue to resonate today.
