Different class, different life.
In this collection, you can find the description each piece, we will explore the differences between the noble or bourgeois life and poor or lower classes life in art, considering the socioeconomic evident differences.
Since ancient times, societies have been marked by class divisions. The nobles, belonging to the elite, enjoyed privileges, lands and wealth, while lower-class people faced difficult living conditions, with poorly paid jobs and scarce resources. It is for this reason that we chose these photos, since we believe that they are the paintings that best represent it.
