Abstract
This 10,000 word book section analyses the visual imagery of poverty in the period c. 1450-1800. It establishes the main patterns of development for the representation of the poor in relation to motives of social repression and control but also highlights the ways in which visual artists developed the poor as motifs that served as a vehicle for a display of artistic invention and creativity.
