EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to a lively scene in the 18th century. Entitled "New Song Interior" it showcases an intimate gathering around a beautifully adorned table. On the left, a young woman gracefully plays a melodious tune on her harpsichord, engrossed in her songbook. The atmosphere is filled with warmth as tea is enjoyed by those seated at the table, while two men leisurely smoke their pipes. Intriguingly, beneath the young woman's feet rests a simmering stew, perhaps symbolizing domesticity and nourishment. In the background, an older man seems to be entranced by another young woman nearby. Meanwhile, on the right side of the image stands an elegant screen displaying a coat and hat atop a mantelpiece. Adding charm to this picturesque setting is a bird cage hanging delicately from above - its inhabitants chirping merrily amidst this bustling company. Painted by Jan Josef Horemans (II) between 1740 and 1760 using oil paint on panel, this artwork captures both the essence of social gatherings during that era and Horemans' meticulous attention to detail. As we admire this enchanting snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its ability to transport us into an era where music harmonized with conversation and camaraderie flourished among friends gathered around tables like these.
