EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of indulgence and refinement in the 18th century French aristocracy. Titled "Les cinq sens: Le gout" (The taste), it showcases young members of high society savoring an array of luscious fruits. Painted by Jean Raoux between 1725 and 1735, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Pushkin Museum in Moscow. In this allegorical scene, we witness the embodiment of elegance and leisure as both men and women partake in the sensory pleasure of tasting various fruits. The composition exudes youthfulness, beauty, and sophistication, with a vibrant display of colors from grapes, cherries, peaches, and more. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a deeper exploration into botany and natural history. This painting serves as a testament to scientific methods used during that era to study food supply. It highlights how different senses contribute to our understanding of taste. As we admire this artwork's intricate details - from the intricately woven basketry to the lush fruit trees surrounding these privileged individuals - we are transported back to an era where spare time was dedicated to cultivating refined tastes. Overall, this print encapsulates not only artistic mastery but also societal values associated with aristocracy at that time. It invites us to appreciate not just the visual feast before us but also contemplate on how our senses shape our perception of beauty and pleasure.
