And they Still Say Fish is Expensive, 1894
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the harsh reality of life at sea in the late 19th century. In this oil on canvas painting by Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida, we are transported to a dimly lit interior of a fishing boat where a group of weary fishermen struggle with the perils of their trade. The scene is filled with tension and danger as one man lies injured on the floor, his face contorted in pain. The flickering lantern casts an eerie glow on his wounded body, highlighting the severity of his condition. Surrounding him are fellow fishermen, their faces etched with concern and weariness from long hours battling treacherous waters. Every element in this painting tells a story - from the worn-out rope hanging loosely above them to the barrel that serves as both storage and makeshift seat. It is evident that these men live on the edge every day, risking their lives for meager rewards. Sorolla's masterful brushstrokes bring out not only the physical injuries but also convey a sense of emotional exhaustion and despair. Through this powerful artwork, he reminds us that behind every plate of fish lies untold sacrifices made by those who brave nature's wrath. "And they Still Say Fish is Expensive" serves as a poignant reminder that our connection to food often comes at great cost – one that should never be forgotten or taken for granted.
