Jaques de Gheyn's Master and Pupil presented in BSL

Gallery Tour Guide Jennifer Little presents Jaques de Gheyn II's Master and Pupil in British Sign Language. It is clear this is a painting of a teacher and his pupil. But what is being taught here? From their body language and gestures, perhaps it could be Sign Language? The plague on the wall reads 'EPANNONEAPELLI / EDEINEEYNNIAEYEIA' (sic). We now know this is not a fully correct translation. This would have originally read in Greek: 'BPABEION ARETH / ETIN EY AI EYEIN', which translates as 'the prize of virtue is having good education'. Master and Pupil is on display in gallery 14 at Manchester Art Gallery. Image credit: Jaques de Gheyn II, Master and Pupil, 1620. Accession number: 1949.224
