More about the book

Focusing on the representation of beggars in sixteenth-century European art, this book presents a compelling thesis that these depictions fall into two contrasting yet complementary traditions: one that ironizes the subject and another that idealizes it. By examining these artistic approaches, the work offers a nuanced understanding of how poverty was portrayed and perceived during this period.
