Status Updates From An Englishman in Madrid

"To us, a painter...from the seventeenth century are nothing more than entries in an encyclopedia. But in their day they were flesh and blood like you and I, and they poured their souls into these paintings for very deep reasons, sometimes spending fortunes on them or even risking their lives. And they never imagined that all of that would one day end up in a room in a gallery or in the corner of a basement."

"Luckily, a tip solves any problem perfectly well. When I first arrived I found it hard to understand, but now it seems to me a wonderful system: it allows the Spaniards to keep wages low, while at the same time making social hierarchies plain. Workers earn half what they should, and have to thank their employers for the other half: that way their subordinate position is reinforced." 🤔
