"The Moneylender: A Historical Perspective on the Role of Finance in Art and Literature" From Renaissance paintings to literary classics, the figure of the moneylender has long captivated artists and writers alike. In "The Banker and his Wife" (1538), we witness a glimpse into the world of wealth accumulation during the 16th century. The painting portrays a prosperous couple surrounded by symbols of affluence, emphasizing their association with financial power. In contrast, "Christ throwing the merchants out of the temple" (c1950) by Shirley Markham depicts an act of divine intervention against exploitative practices.

Artists like Marius Van Romerswael depicted scenes like "Two Usurers, " highlighting both negative stereotypes associated with moneylenders and their influence on society at large. Thomas Ingoldsby's illustration from his book published in 1887 shows how literature perpetuated certain narratives about Jewish moneylenders through stories passed down generations. Lastly, "The Money Changers" (c.
