EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting a transaction between a Jew and a loan shark. Taken from the travel book "peregrinatio in terram sanctam" by Bernard de Breydenbach, this page showcases an engraving by Erhard Reuwich from 1486. The image transports us back to the Holy Land after Breydenbach's pilgrimage, providing us with a glimpse into daily life during the 15th century. The illustration portrays an intimate scene where two individuals engage in business dealings. A Jewish man can be seen conversing with a loan shark, highlighting the intersection of finance and religion during that era. This depiction sheds light on the complexities of Jewish labor and their involvement in financial matters. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every line and stroke brings life to each character and object portrayed. The artist's skillful execution allows viewers to immerse themselves in this historical moment, evoking curiosity about the cultural dynamics at play. Displayed at Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, this artwork serves as both an educational tool and a testament to artistic excellence. It invites contemplation on themes such as religion, money, human interaction, and social hierarchies prevalent during that time. Luisa Ricciarini has beautifully captured this piece through her lens while preserving its historical significance for generations to come. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of our shared pasts and how they continue to shape our present realities.
