Original Description
Michaelina Wautiers' Elk Zijn Meug (jeder Nach Seinem Geschmack) (1650) is a captivating Baroque genre scene that radiates warmth and subtle humor. The painting depicts two children engrossed in a makeshift feast—one eagerly eating porridge while the other disdainfully pushes their bowl away, illustrating the Flemish proverb "to each his own taste." Wautiers’ masterful handling of light imbues the scene with intimacy, her earthy palette and meticulous textures heightening its tactile realism. As one of the few documented female painters of the 17th century, Wautiers overcame gender barriers to achieve recognition among Antwerp’s guilds. This work exemplifies her skill in balancing narrative wit with technical precision, challenging the era’s male-dominated artistic norms. Rediscovered in modern times, it now underscores her significance in expanding the canon of Dutch Golden Age art beyond names like Vermeer or Rembrandt.
For contemporary interiors, Elk Zijn Meug offers versatile charm. Its modest size (typically under 100 cm wide) suits intimate spaces like a study or dining nook, where viewers can appreciate its storytelling details. Frame it in an ornate black or gilt wooden frame to honor its Baroque roots, or opt for a slim, muted profile for a transitional setting. The painting’s warm umbers and creams harmonize with rustic wood furnishings or a neutral-toned gallery wall, while the children’s vibrant attire injects subtle color—pair with terracotta accents or indigo textiles. In offices, it sparks conversation about individuality, ideal for creative or education-focused environments. Avoid overwhelming its delicate scale; display it at eye level with minimal competing art nearby to let Wautiers’ narrative brilliance take center stage.
