EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a rare glimpse into the corrupt practices of the past. Titled "Ms H V-5 Bribing a magistrate, from Book of Privileges" this 15th-century vellum print by an Italian School artist is housed in the Biblioteca Queriniana in Brescia, Italy. The image depicts a scene of corruption de magistrat, where a male figure can be seen engaging in bribery to manipulate justice. The manuscript's medieval origins add an air of mystery and intrigue to this thought-provoking artwork. Intricately detailed, the composition showcases the exchange of money between two individuals - one being the judge himself. This blatant act of corruption challenges our understanding of morality and ethics during that era. As we delve into history through this mesmerizing piece, it serves as a reminder that corruption has plagued societies throughout time. It prompts us to reflect on how power dynamics have shaped legal systems and raises questions about justice itself. Bridgeman Images' expertly captured photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also ponder upon its historical significance. It invites viewers to explore themes such as manipulation, greed, and societal flaws that continue to resonate with contemporary audiences today.
