EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Beggar and bourgeois - in 'Popular Scenes' by Edme Pigal, 1824" takes us back to a time long gone. The image, captured by the talented Leonard de Selva, showcases an engraving that depicts a stark contrast between two individuals from different social classes. In the foreground, we see a beggar leaning on his crutch, dressed in tattered clothing that reflects his destitution. His weary eyes gaze into the distance as he seeks compassion from those passing by. On the other hand, standing tall in the background is a bourgeois gentleman adorned in fine attire befitting his elevated status. He exudes confidence and prosperity while seemingly oblivious to the struggles of others around him. The composition of this artwork not only highlights societal disparities but also serves as a poignant reminder of human empathy or lack thereof. It prompts us to reflect on our own roles within society and how we can contribute towards creating a more inclusive world. Edme Pigal's masterful creation from almost two centuries ago continues to resonate with viewers today, reminding us that despite progress made over time, there are still marginalized individuals who need our support and understanding. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a call for compassion towards those less fortunate than ourselves.
