This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-107772-0000 Allegories of the senses: hearing" takes us back to the early 1920s. The image captures a couple dressed in exquisite eighteenth-century costumes, immersed in an atmosphere of elegance and sophistication. The couple's attention is drawn towards a gesture that symbolizes communication through sound. A beautifully crafted instrument lies delicately on a table before them, representing the sense of hearing. It serves as a reminder of how music has long been intertwined with human emotions and connections. As we delve deeper into this photograph, we notice intricate details that reveal aspects of individuality and self-care. The woman's makeup and hairstyle are meticulously done, reflecting society's emphasis on beauty treatments during that period. Meanwhile, the man's bow accessory adds a touch of refinement to his attire. Laughter and smiles play an essential role in this scene, highlighting both physiological and psychological aspects associated with joyous moments shared between loved ones. The masquerade element further enhances the sense of mystery surrounding these characters' identities. Through their clothing choices and fashion statements, this photograph transports us to another era where style was paramount. Their elegant outfits exude charm while also showcasing historical trends from the eighteenth century. Although taken by an unidentified author from Alinari, this print speaks volumes about cultural values at that time without mentioning any commercial use or company affiliation. It invites viewers to appreciate artistry beyond its monetary worth—allowing us to immerse ourselves in history through visual storytelling alone.
