Etienne Fessard, a renowned artist from the 18th century, was a master of capturing the essence of various senses through his artwork. With Sight as his canvas, he collaborated with Anne-Claude-Philippe de Caylus to create stunning visual representations that transported viewers back to the years between 1730 and 1765. In their collaboration on Taste, Fessard and Caylus tantalized the viewer's palate with exquisite depictions of culinary delights. Their artistry allowed one to almost savor the flavors that were popular during this era. With Hearing as their inspiration, Fessard and Caylus crafted pieces that resonated with emotion. The soundscapes they created through their artwork brought alive the melodies and harmonies that filled the air during those years. One notable piece by Caylus alone is "Venus Catching Love or Venus Flogging Love, " which showcases love in all its complexities. This masterpiece captures both passion and pain in an intriguing way. Focusing on Touch, Fessard joined forces once again with Caylus to create tactile experiences through their art. They skillfully portrayed textures and sensations that could almost be felt by running one's fingers over their creations. The duo also explored Smell in their artistic endeavors. Through intricate details and delicate brushstrokes, they managed to evoke scents from this time period - fragrances that would transport anyone who gazed upon these works into another world entirely. Another noteworthy creation by Etienne Fessard himself is "The Light Of The World. " Painted in 1761, this masterpiece illuminates spiritual enlightenment through its radiant depiction of light breaking through darkness. Fessard's talent extended beyond just capturing senses; he also immortalized historical moments within religious settings.
