Beggar Brings Clothing Girl Helps Jacket Jan Luyken Mercy Naked Shoes Show Verse Walked Works Clothe
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Clothing the Naked" we are transported back in time to witness an act of compassion and kindness. The artwork, created by Jan Luyken and Gerrit de Broen (Sr. ) in the late 17th or early 18th century, depicts a powerful scene from one of the seven acts of mercy. A man, with a heart full of empathy, reaches out to help a destitute beggar who stands before him. In his hands, he holds a jacket that will provide warmth and dignity to the naked figure. As if choreographed by fate itself, a young girl appears beside them carrying a tie and shoes - symbols of restoration and hope. The Dutch setting adds depth to this poignant moment as it reflects the rich history of charitable works within their society. The verse accompanying the image further emphasizes its message: "Nudus vestitur" - clothing the naked. Through Quint Lox's lens, this timeless masterpiece is brought to life once again. Its significance lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its reminder that even small acts can make an immense difference in someone's life. This print serves as both an homage to Jan Luyken and Gerrit de Broen (Sr. )'s original work while offering viewers an opportunity for reflection on our own capacity for compassion and generosity towards those less fortunate than ourselves.
