Description
English: In this painting a crowd of beggars and cripples jostles outside a church charity. Bread is handed out through the barred window. There is probably a Christian subtext in it but the poor are not depicted with much sympathy, quarreling and stealing from one another. Deprived drifters were often seen as parasites that threatened the fragile social order and depicting them as foolish and grotesque was traditional in Flemish painting of the sixteenth century.
Svenska: I denna målning trängs en skara tiggare och krymplingar framför en kyrklig välgörenhetsinrättning. Genom ett gallerförsett fönster delas bröd ut. Troligen finns det en kristen undermening, men människorna är inte avbildade med särskilt mycket sympati – de grälar och stjäl från varandra. Kringdrivande fattiga sågs inte sällan som ett hot mot den bräckliga samhällsordningen. Att skildra dem som dåraktiga och groteska var en tradition från det flamländska 1500-talsmåleriet.
