Spotprent op de onverzadigbare rijkdom en de bevredigende armoede, 1618 1618 - 1625

This 17th-century Dutch print, “Spotprent op de onverzadigbare rijkdom en de bevredigende armoede,” depicts a satirical allegory of wealth and poverty. It features two figures: a naked man, trapped in a cage and carrying the symbols of wealth, and a well-dressed man with a full purse. The satirical print, likely a broadside, is an example of Dutch art with a strong moral message, critiquing the social inequalities of the time. It is a testament to the rich tradition of visual satire that flourished in the Netherlands during the Golden Age.
