EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Courtiers Amassing Riches at the Expense of the Poor" takes us back to the 14th century, immersing us in a world of medieval opulence and social inequality. From a miniature found in the manuscript Tresor of Brunetto Latini, this horizontal image captures the essence of court life during that time. The intricate costumes worn by these courtiers reveal their wealth and status. Their attire is meticulously detailed, showcasing the fashion trends of the era with its layers, textures, and embellishments. As they amass riches upon riches, we cannot help but feel a sense of unease as we see them benefiting from the labor and suffering of those less fortunate. The contrast between these affluent figures and the impoverished masses is starkly depicted in this sketch-like illustration. The poor are shown clad in simple garments that barely shield them from their harsh reality. This poignant portrayal serves as a reminder that throughout history, there have always been those who exploit others for personal gain. Ken Welsh's masterful interpretation brings to life an important chapter in our collective history. Through his skillful use of line work and shading techniques commonly seen in engravings from that period, he transports us back to an age where clothing symbolized power dynamics within society. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, let it serve as a reflection on how far we have come since then – or perhaps how much further we still need to go – in addressing issues surrounding wealth disparity
