EDITORS COMMENTS
Peasants at Table: The Sense of Taste, 1637-1656" is a captivating oil on wood painting by the Flemish artist Anthonie Victoryns. This masterpiece, created during the seventeenth century, invites us to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of rural life. The painting depicts a group of peasants, both male and female, gathered around a long wooden table inside a farmhouse. The room is filled with the warmth and comfort of a well-used space, with worn furniture and aged buildings in the background. The peasants are engrossed in their meal, savoring each bite with obvious delight. The sense of taste is the focus of this scene, as the artist invites us to imagine the rich flavors and textures of the food before us. The peasants are dressed in the traditional clothing of their time and occupation. The men wear simple tunics and trousers, while the women don long skirts and aprons. Their faces are expressive, reflecting the joy and satisfaction of their meal. The artist has expertly captured the intricacies of their features, from the wrinkles around their eyes to the subtle curves of their noses. The painting is a testament to the hardworking nature of agricultural laborers in the 17th century. Despite their rough and weathered appearance, they are able to find joy and contentment in the simple pleasures of life. The painting is a reminder of the importance of appreciating the senses, particularly the sense of taste, and the role it plays in our daily lives. This painting is a treasure of Danish and Flemish heritage art, and can be found in the National Gallery of Denmark (Statens Museum for Kunst) in Copenhagen. It is a must-see for anyone interested in old master paintings, or in the history of agriculture and rural life in Europe during the seventeenth century.
