EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "La parabole du gerant malhonnete - The Parable of the Unjust Steward" by Reymerswaele, a renowned Netherlandish artist from the 16th century. Painted with oil on wood in approximately 1540, this masterpiece measures 77x96.5 cm and is currently housed at the Art History Museum in Vienna. The painting depicts a scene from biblical times, illustrating an intriguing moral tale about justice and wealth. In the image, we see a man who holds an official document made of paper, symbolizing his position as a steward or administrator. However, it becomes evident that he has been dishonest in his dealings as he is confronted by others. Reymerswaele's meticulous attention to detail brings this story to life, capturing not only the expressions on each character's face but also their emotions and actions. The artist skillfully portrays themes of luck and reward alongside notions of morality and religion. Through this artwork, viewers are invited to reflect upon concepts such as honesty versus deceitfulness and the consequences that follow one's actions. It serves as a reminder that true wealth lies not in material possessions but rather in integrity and righteousness. This remarkable piece exemplifies Flemish artistry at its finest while offering profound insights into human nature and societal values during the Dutch Golden Age.
