EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "At the Tax Collector's, 1889" transports us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the intricacies of city hall bureaucracy. Painted by Benjamin Eugene Fichel in oil on panel, this exquisite piece measures 44.2x55.3 cm and is now part of a private collection. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst an official gathering at the tax collector's office. The atmosphere exudes formality and seriousness as citizens come to settle their financial obligations with the government. The painting beautifully captures the essence of Elizabethan and Jacobean dress, adding an air of historical significance to the composition. Every detail has been meticulously portrayed - from the elaborate costumes worn by both officials and townspeople to the stacks of money exchanged during these transactions. We can almost feel the weighty presence of legality in every corner as individuals seek resolution through appeals or reviews. This artwork not only showcases Fichel's mastery in capturing human interactions but also provides insight into family dynamics within civic life during that period. It serves as a reminder that taxes have long been an integral part of society, shaping communities and funding public services. As we gaze upon this remarkable painting captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded once again that art has an incredible ability to transport us across time and space while shedding light on our shared history.
