EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing engraving titled "Old Skinny Man Left Talking Fat Right" we are transported back in time to the early 16th century. The print, part of the Liszt Collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the exceptional talent of Italian artist Marcantonio Raimondi. The composition depicts two figures engaged in conversation, each representing contrasting physical attributes. On the left side stands an elderly man with a slender frame, his weathered face reflecting wisdom and experience. Despite his frail appearance, he exudes confidence and engages passionately in dialogue. Opposite him stands a rotund figure radiating opulence and indulgence. This corpulent gentleman is adorned with luxurious garments that emphasize his wealth and status within society. His jovial expression suggests a carefree nature as he listens intently to his companion's words. Raimondi's masterful technique is evident through intricate details such as delicate lines etched onto the sheet measuring approximately 3 15/16 x 1 8/10 inches (10 x 4.79 cm). Through this remarkable work, Raimondi captures not only physical contrasts but also explores themes of social hierarchy and communication across generations. As viewers contemplate this piece from ca. 1510-27 Bologna, they are invited to reflect on timeless human traits: wisdom versus extravagance, age versus youthfulness, and ultimately how these differences shape our interactions throughout history.
