EDITORS COMMENTS
Taste: A Delightful Indulgence, 1684-1756 by Martin Engelbrecht This exquisite 18th-century engraving by Martin Engelbrecht, titled "Taste," invites us to savor the simple pleasures of life. The image, adorned with a floral rocaille border, depicts a man and a woman, each engaged in the enjoyment of their chosen sensory experience. The man, seated and smoking a pipe, represents the sense of taste through the pleasure of tobacco. His companion, a standing figure, embodies the sense of smell and taste as she delights in the fragrance and flavor of a ripe fruit. The richly colored and ornamented scene, with its intricate floral patterns and border, transports us to the Netherlands during the 17th and 18th centuries. The Latin inscription above reads, "Sumite hunc potum omnibus fere gratus, omni tempore gaudia cordi tristi" - "Take this drink, which is well-received by almost everyone, it always brings joy to the heart of the sad." This phrase further emphasizes the theme of indulgence and the pursuit of happiness through the senses. Engelbrecht's masterful use of watercolor on paper and intricate etching techniques bring this charming scene to life, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and joy of the five senses. This work of art, a testament to the heritage of European art, is now a cherished addition to the collections of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
