EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection captures a poignant scene of stark contrasts and societal divisions. Entitled "Rich Children, Poor Parents" it depicts a terrace where a wealthy couple stands on the right with their five children, while on the left, the impoverished parents descend down a flight of stairs. The image is filled with symbolic details that emphasize this disparity. In the foreground, one of the privileged children playfully rides a hobby horse, oblivious to his less fortunate counterparts. Another child clings onto a dog under her arm, perhaps representing an affectionate bond that money cannot buy. Onlookers observe from behind a fence on the right side, silently witnessing this unequal world. The inscriptions displayed as signs reveal two contrasting perspectives: "poor parents" and "rich children". These words speak volumes about filial love being absent in this scenario and highlight how wealth can create vast divides within families. Created by Aert Pietersz in 1599 using panel and oil paint techniques, this artwork measures 61 cm in height and 163 cm in width. It serves as a powerful reminder of social inequality throughout history
