EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Beggars" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 17th-century Netherlands. The image, created by renowned print makers Pieter Serwouters, David Vinckboons, and Carel Allard between 1673 and 1709, offers a vivid glimpse into the lives of those on society's fringes. In this scene, we witness a motley crew of beggars engaging in a carousal at an inn. The atmosphere is both lively and chaotic as these destitute individuals revel in their momentary escape from hardship. A musician with his hurdy-gurdy adds to the merriment while a woman and child observe from afar. The composition is rich with intriguing details: a chest symbolizing meager possessions, a courting couple lost in each other's gaze amidst the chaos, and even a man vomiting due to excessive indulgence. One beggar stands out with his wooden leg as he joins others in an energetic round dance. Notably, above them hangs a signboard indicating dubious property ownership - perhaps hinting at the challenges faced by these marginalized individuals within society's structures. Quint Lox expertly captures this historical moment through his lens, allowing us to reflect on themes of poverty, resilience, and human connection. This print serves as an honest portrayal of life during that era rather than commercial exploitation. It invites viewers to contemplate our shared humanity across time and reminds us that compassion knows no bounds
