EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving "A Marriage Founded on Wealth, Which is the Work of the Devil" by Jan Saenredam captures a thought-provoking allegory that explores the complexities of marriage and materialism. Measuring 11.91x8.57 cm, this artwork resides in the San Diego Museum of Art, USA. In this intricate composition, Saenredam skillfully depicts a male figure representing wealth and a female figure symbolizing marriage. The artist's meticulous attention to detail reveals their contrasting characteristics: while the husband exudes opulence with his lavish attire and overflowing moneybags, his wife appears disheartened and distant. This print serves as a cautionary tale against unions based solely on financial gain. It suggests that such marriages are inherently flawed and influenced by sinister forces – represented here by an ominous devil lurking in the shadows. Saenredam's work prompts viewers to reflect upon society's obsession with wealth and its impact on personal relationships. By highlighting how materialistic pursuits can corrupt love and happiness, he challenges us to question our own values when it comes to choosing life partners. Gifted to the museum by Norman Leitman and Todd Butler, this Dutch masterpiece continues to captivate audiences with its timeless message about love versus greed. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are reminded that true marital bliss cannot be bought or sold; it must be nurtured through genuine connection and shared values beyond mere monetary considerations.
