EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Altarpiece of the Guild of the Minters" painted by Maarten de Vos in 1602. The triptych, located in the Church of St. Andrew in Antwerp, Belgium, is a true masterpiece that captures both religious and secular themes. In this scene, we witness a group gathered around Jesus Christ as he imparts his wisdom upon them. The composition beautifully portrays a diverse mix of individuals from different walks of life - men and women alike - representing the trade guilds and their important role in society. The presence of Pharisees hints at the underlying tension between religion and commerce during that era. As tax collectors for minting coins, these minter guild members were responsible for managing finances and contributing to society through taxes. De Vos skillfully depicts this significant moment with intricate details, vibrant colors, and meticulous brushwork. Each figure exudes a sense of reverence as they listen attentively to Jesus' teachings. This altarpiece not only serves as an exquisite piece of art but also symbolizes unity within diversity while highlighting the importance of education and spiritual guidance for all members of society. Captured expertly by Hugo Maertens' lens on behalf Art in Flanders, this print allows us to appreciate every nuance and detail present in De Vos' magnificent painting without commercial intentions or usage restrictions imposed by Bridgeman Images.
