EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Differing Tastes: Presentation entitled Difference" we are transported back in time to the late 17th century. The artwork, created by Godfried Schalcken between 1685 and 1690, showcases a fascinating scene that speaks volumes about individual preferences. At the center of the composition stands a distinguished man, engrossed in his own world as he leisurely lights his pipe with a flickering candle flame. His actions symbolize an unconventional choice, showcasing his unique taste and disregard for societal norms. Behind him, a man and woman observe this peculiar sight with contrasting expressions on their faces - curiosity mixed with disapproval. The artist skillfully captures the essence of differing tastes through subtle details and masterful use of oil paint on panel. The warm hues create an intimate atmosphere while highlighting each character's distinct personality. This artwork invites us to reflect upon our own preferences and how they shape our identities. It serves as a reminder that diversity is what makes life interesting; it sparks conversations, challenges conventions, and broadens our perspectives. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, let us appreciate the artistry involved in immortalizing such ordinary yet extraordinary moments from history. May it inspire us to embrace differences in taste not only within art but also within ourselves and others around us.
