EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite engraving titled "Les cinq Sens" by Louis-Leopold Boilly, a renowned French artist from the 18th century. The artwork beautifully captures an allegorical representation of the five senses - sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell. In this particular scene, our attention is drawn to a young woman who appears to be engrossed in exploring her sense of smell. With her delicate hand delicately holding a flower up to her nose, she embodies elegance and grace. Boilly's masterful technique brings out every intricate detail of her features and attire. The engraving itself serves as more than just an artistic creation; it also carries deeper meaning within its caricature-like portrayal. Through subtle symbolism and social commentary prevalent in French society at that time, Boilly invites viewers to reflect on their own sensory experiences and how they shape their perception of the world around them. As we gaze upon this enchanting piece of artistry captured by Photo Josse with utmost precision and clarity, we are transported back in time to witness France during the 18th century. It is truly remarkable how such a simple image can evoke such profound emotions and thoughts about our human existence. This print is not only visually stunning but also offers us a glimpse into history through Boilly's unique perspective on life's sensory pleasures.
