About The Merchant and his Wife: The Merchant and His Wife by Marinus van Reymerswale, painted in 1540, shows a merchant and his wife sitting at a table covered with coins, books, and scales. The man counts money while his wife looks through an account book, both dressed in the rich clothing of the time. Reymerswale, a Dutch artist from the early 1500s, often painted scenes of merchants, tax collectors, and money changers. His careful detail makes the metal, fabric, and books look real and full of texture. The scene shows the growing importance of trade and business in the Netherlands during the 16th century. At the same time, it may warn viewers about greed and the dangers of valuing money too highly. Through its everyday setting, the painting mixes realism with moral reflection. // Image Credit: Marinus van Reymerswale, Statens Museum for Kunst
