"Reflections of a Starving Man" or "Social Contrasts" (Italian: "Riflessioni di un affamato" or "Contrasti sociali") is a significant painting created in 1894 by the Italian artist Emilio Longoni. This work is emblematic of the social realist movement that emerged in the late 19th century, which sought to highlight the stark disparities and social injustices of the time. Longoni, known for his poignant and evocative depictions of the human condition, uses this painting to critique the socioeconomic inequalities that were prevalent during the industrialization period in Italy.

The painting portrays a gaunt, emaciated man standing outside a luxurious restaurant, gazing longingly through the window at the opulent feast inside. The contrast between the man's tattered clothing and the lavish interior of the restaurant underscores the theme of social disparity. Longoni's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey deep emotion through his subjects make this painting a powerful commentary on the human cost of economic progress.

"Reflections of a Starving Man" is not only a reflection of Longoni's artistic skill but also his deep empathy for the plight of the poor and marginalized. The painting serves as a visual narrative that challenges viewers to confront the uncomfortable realities of poverty and wealth. It is a poignant reminder of the enduring relevance of social justice issues and the role of art in advocating for change.

This work is housed in the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Milan, where it continues to resonate with contemporary audiences. Longoni's ability to capture the essence of human suffering and his critique of social inequality make "Reflections of a Starving Man" a timeless piece that continues to inspire and provoke thought.
