EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Struggle between Fortune and Poverty" a masterpiece created by the Boucicaut Master and his workshop in France during the late 14th to early 15th century. The artwork, which measures 42 x 29.6 cm, is an exquisite example of tempera colors, gold leaf, gold paint, and ink on parchment. In this thought-provoking composition, two powerful forces collide: Fortune and Poverty. The artist skillfully captures their eternal battle for dominance. On one side stands Fortune, adorned with opulent garments and surrounded by symbols of wealth and prosperity. She exudes confidence as she holds her wheel of fortune high above her head. On the opposing side stands Poverty; a stark contrast to Fortune's grandeur. Draped in tattered rags with a somber expression on her face, she clings desperately to her meager possessions. Through intricate details and vibrant colors, the Boucicaut Master conveys profound social commentary about the human condition. This piece serves as a reminder that life is filled with constant struggles between abundance and scarcity. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured through photography from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness this timeless struggle unfold before our eyes. It allows us to reflect on our own relationship with fortune and poverty while appreciating the immense talent of these French artists who brought such profound emotions to life on parchment centuries ago.
