One writes in a ledger, the other – his features contorted into a sneer – grasps at a pile of coins. Documents, some of them legible, are piled on a cupboard behind the pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dokuwiki_paragraph\"\u003eMarinus van Reymerswale and his workshop produced a number of versions of this very successful composition; many include manuscripts and legal documents that contain references to the town and inhabitants of Reymerswale, where Marinus probably spent much of his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dokuwiki_paragraph\"\u003eAll are satires of greed and corruption, and they might even have contained recognisable caricatures of officials from Reymerswale. Tax collectors were paid percentages of the revenues they collected, and had many incentives to extort every last mite from taxpayers. The two men, hideous in spite of their rich clothes, are vilified for their bureaucratic and legalistic greed.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/workshop-of-marinus-van-reymerswale-two-tax-gatherers\" title=\"The National Gallery of Art London - Two Tax-Gatherers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eThe National Gallery of Art, London)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marinus van Reymerswale","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49252053647603,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (36 1\/4\" x 29 3\/8\")","offer_id":49252053680371,"sku":null,"price":1757.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (19 7\/8\" x 16 1\/8\")","offer_id":49252053713139,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (24 3\/8\" x 19 3\/4\")","offer_id":49252053745907,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (29 3\/4\" x 24 1\/8\")","offer_id":49252053778675,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (38 1\/2\" x 31 1\/8\")","offer_id":49252053811443,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (46 1\/8\" x 37 3\/8\")","offer_id":49252053844211,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (54 3\/8\" x 44 1\/8\")","offer_id":49252053876979,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (65 1\/4\" x 52 7\/8\")","offer_id":49252053909747,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/MarinusvanReymerswale-TwoTax-Gatherers-product.jpg?v=1781380708","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/two-tax-gatherers","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
