EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Taste, from The Five Senses, 1561" created by Cornelis Cort, we are transported back to the vibrant world of the 16th century. This exquisite engraving showcases a scene that beautifully captures the essence of taste as one of the five senses. At its center stands a woman, elegantly dressed in Renaissance attire, delicately holding a knife in her hand. She is surrounded by an array of delectable fruits and grapes displayed in a basket nearby. Her expression exudes curiosity and anticipation as she prepares to indulge her palate. Adding an element of whimsy to the composition is a mischievous monkey perched on her shoulder, playfully reaching out for some fruit. Chained to its master's side, it serves as both companion and entertainer during this sensory experience. The intricate details within this Northern Renaissance artwork showcase Cornelis Cort's exceptional skill as an engraver. Every line and contour is meticulously etched onto paper with precision and finesse. This remarkable piece not only transports us back in time but also reminds us of our own connection with taste – how it can awaken our senses and transport us into moments of pure pleasure. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of art to capture fleeting sensations like taste for generations to come.
