EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to the Northern Netherlands in the year 1660. In this timeless scene, we see a man engrossed in his reading, seated behind a stone railing. The young man sits with poise and concentration, holding an open book delicately in his hands. The artist has chosen to present the man's upper body only, drawing our attention to his distinguished appearance. Crowned by a high black hat adorned with ribbons, he exudes an air of sophistication and intellect. A vibrant red carnation rests on the balustrade beside him, adding a touch of color to the composition. Beyond the railing lies a serene backdrop of trees, creating an atmosphere conducive for quiet contemplation. The anonymous artist skillfully captures both the physicality of reading and its immersive nature through this image. We can almost feel ourselves being transported into that moment as we imagine what words might be held within those pages. This print serves as a testament to the enduring power of literature and its ability to transport us across time and space. It invites us to reflect on our own relationship with books and reminds us of their capacity to ignite our imagination and expand our horizons.
