EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Le paiement de la dime (le percepteur des impots) - The Tithing" by Massys (Matsys), a renowned Flemish artist from the 16th century. Painted in 1514, this oil on wood masterpiece measures 70x106 cm and is currently housed at the National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. The artwork depicts a scene of great significance during that era – the payment of tithes to tax collectors. In the foreground, we see a man seated behind an open book, representing authority and justice as he collects taxes from villagers. A woman stands beside him with a child, symbolizing the impact of taxation on families and society as a whole. Massys' attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; his skillful rendering brings life to each character's expression and posture. The composition exudes realism while capturing the essence of Flemish art during the Renaissance period. This thought-provoking image raises questions about wealth distribution, social hierarchy, and governmental control over its population. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic representation of societal dynamics in early modern Belgium. Thanks to Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Bridgeman Images, viewers can now appreciate this remarkable piece without commercial restrictions. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply curious about history's influence on visual arts, this print offers insight into one of Jan Massys' most significant works.
