EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Hearing, 1730-65" captures a mesmerizing scene from the 18th century. Created by Anne-Claude-Philippe de Caylus and Etienne Fessard, this engraving showcases their artistic brilliance. The image takes us back to a time when art was not just about visual appeal but also about evoking emotions. In this piece, we see a female figure surrounded by elements that symbolize sound and music. She holds a lute delicately in her hands, ready to create enchanting melodies that resonate with the soul. The attention to detail is remarkable as every stroke of the etching brings life to the composition. The deer depicted in the artwork adds an element of nature and tranquility, enhancing our understanding of how hearing connects us with our surroundings. It reminds us of the importance of listening attentively to both human voices and the harmonies present in nature's symphony. This print is part of a series dedicated to exploring each of the five senses, highlighting their significance in human experience. Through this work, Caylus and Fessard invite us on a journey into sensory perception during an era known for its appreciation for arts and culture.
