EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print titled "The Ungrateful Children" by Bartholomeus Willemsz. Dolendo and Joos de Bosscher from 1590, we witness a heartbreaking scene that speaks volumes about the complexities of family dynamics and societal inequality. The image captures an old father leaning on a stool, his clothes tattered and torn, while his hands rest in despair on his lap. Beside him stands a mother with pleading eyes, her face etched with worry. Their adult children surround them, their well-off status evident through their fine attire. Yet despite their privileged position, they seem oblivious to the plight of their parents. These ungrateful children beg for help from a naked man wielding a club nearby. The stark contrast between the destitute parents and the affluent offspring highlights the harsh reality faced by many elderly individuals who are left vulnerable in their twilight years. Bartholomeus Willemsz. Dolendo and Joos de Bosscher's powerful composition serves as an explanatory text in multiple languages including French, German, Dutch to ensure its message reaches far beyond borders. This thought-provoking artwork by Quint Lox reminds us of our responsibility towards our aging loved ones and challenges us to reflect on how we can create a more compassionate society where no parent is left behind or forgotten amidst wealth disparity.
