Marinus van Reymerswaele is best known for his genre scenes of bankers and tax collectors, which offer a satirical view of the powerful financial classes in Antwerp (where he spent the early part of his career) and the Netherlands in the first half of the 16th century. His large workshop also produced a number of panels depicting religious subjects, in particular The Calling of Saint Matthew and Saint Jerome in his Study. From March through June of this year, Museo del Prado in Madrid mounted the first solo exhibition devoted to this artist – "While many of his paintings are very well known and appreciated today from textbooks on economic history – the Flemish economic historian Raymond de Roover (1904-1972) was one of the first to associate money changers with the profession of banking in the 16th century and to illustrate them in his books – the artist's life and work have been little studied in recent decades. This exhibition, which is curated by Christine Seidel, curator of painting up to 1800 at the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart and the recipient of a Fundación María Cristina Masaveu Peterson study grant at the Museo del Prado in 2018, has brought together a significant group of van Reymerswaele's paintings, in addition to books, prints and coins that add context to the images. From 2018 onwards the five works by the artist in the Prado's collection were restored for the exhibition in the Museum's restoration studio and are presented together for the first time."
