EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back to a bustling fish market in the 17th century. The focal point of the image is a young woman, her arm adorned with a sturdy bucket, diligently counting out money for her freshly purchased fish. Her face reflects determination and perhaps even a hint of satisfaction as she carefully conducts her transaction. The artist, Quiringh Gerritsz. van Brekelenkam, masterfully captures the essence of daily life during this era. The fish stall behind the young woman offers an array of delectable options including flatfish and salmon slices. It is evident that these delicacies were highly sought after by discerning customers. As our gaze wanders towards the background, we notice a scale prominently displayed on the right side. This detail serves as a reminder of the importance placed on accuracy and fairness in trade during those times. Van Brekelenkam's use of oil paint brings depth and richness to every element within this composition. The panel itself measures 30 cm in height, 26 cm in width, and has a depth of 6 cm - allowing us to appreciate every intricate brushstroke up close. This remarkable piece provides us with both an artistic delight and historical insight into everyday life centuries ago. It reminds us that even mundane tasks like buying fish at a market can be transformed into moments worth immortalizing through art.
