Old Feissli Immersed in the News of 1900
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this oil painting by Albert Anker, we are transported back to the turn of the 20th century. The artwork titled "Old Feissli Reading the Newspaper, 1900" captures a moment frozen in time, revealing a glimpse into the daily life and fashion trends of that era. The central figure, Old Feissli, sits comfortably in his chair with a pipe clenched between his teeth. His bearded face exudes wisdom and experience as he indulges in his smoking addiction while engrossed in reading. Clad in summer clothes and donning a hat reminiscent of Swiss tradition, he embodies an air of sophistication. Anker's meticulous attention to detail is evident not only through Old Feissli's attire but also through the vibrant colors that bring this scene to life. The artist skillfully portrays various shades and hues that add depth and character to every element within the composition. As our gaze wanders around the painting, we notice newspapers neatly stacked on a stand nearby - perhaps representing different perspectives or sources of information available at that time. This subtle inclusion hints at society's reliance on print media for news consumption during an era when journalism played a pivotal role. Through this masterful portrait, Anker invites us to reflect upon how much has changed since then while reminding us that some things remain constant throughout history – like our innate curiosity for knowledge and our desire to stay informed about current events shaping our world.
