EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Tithing (Village Lawyer), 1617" a remarkable painting found in the esteemed collection of Musee du Louvre, Paris. The image transports us to an opulent interior where wealth and power reign supreme. At the center of attention is a grand desk adorned with stacks of coins, books, and a pot overflowing with abundance. In this Renaissance masterpiece by Pieter Brueghel the Younger, we witness the grotesque satire that lies within society's pursuit of money and authority. A lawyer sits at the table, surrounded by quill pens, inkwells, and writing materials symbolizing his role as counsel for those seeking justice or protection from tax collectors. The painting delves into themes of greed and affluence as it depicts a tax collector assessing payments while holding court over villagers who bring their tithes. The scene exudes prosperity through its intricate details: from fine art images adorning the walls to an inkpot shaped like a cornucopia spilling forth riches. Brueghel masterfully captures both the ostentatiousness and fragility inherent in wealthiness. Through his brushstrokes, he invites viewers to question societal norms surrounding money and power. "The Tithing (Village Lawyer)" serves as not only an exquisite example of early Netherlandish art but also as a timeless commentary on human nature's insatiable desire for opulence. This print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail
