EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Slaughterhouse" we are transported back in time to the late 19th century, where artist Willem Bastiaan Tholen skillfully captures the raw and gritty reality of a slaughterhouse. The painting, created between 1880 and 1900 using oil paint on canvas, measures approximately 57 cm in height and 71 cm in width. Tholen's masterful brushstrokes bring to life the somber atmosphere within the slaughterhouse. The dimly lit space is filled with workers diligently carrying out their gruesome tasks amidst hanging carcasses and blood-stained floors. Each figure is depicted with remarkable detail, showcasing Tholen's ability to capture both physicality and emotion. The composition of the painting draws our attention towards a central focal point – an animal being prepared for butchering. Its presence serves as a reminder of humanity's reliance on animals for sustenance while also evoking contemplation about our relationship with nature. Through his choice of subject matter, Tholen invites us to confront uncomfortable truths about industrialization and its impact on society. He sheds light on an often-overlooked aspect of daily life that was crucial yet rarely discussed openly during that era. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate Tholen's artistic prowess while immersing ourselves in a thought-provoking scene from history. It serves as a poignant reminder that art has the power not only to captivate visually but also to provoke introspection about our place
