In the heart of Paris, France, a diner delicately cuts into a plate of steak tartare. The vibrant red meat is finely minced and mixed with an array of flavorful ingredients, creating a culinary masterpiece that has stood the test of time. As the knife glides through the tender meat, releasing its rich aroma, one can't help but be transported to a world where gastronomy reigns supreme. Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Tartare; Tartar (engraving) adorns the walls of this elegant restaurant, paying homage to the origins of this classic dish. It reminds us that tartare has been enjoyed for centuries in various cultures around the globe. From its humble beginnings as raw horsemeat consumed by nomadic tribes to its modern-day incarnation as beef or fish prepared with finesse and creativity. But not all associations with "tartare" are so appetizing. Ixion in Tartarus on the Wheel, 1731 (engraving), depicts a scene from Greek mythology where punishment awaits those who have committed heinous acts. Similarly, Scene of Hell, 1731 (engraving) portrays a terrifying underworld filled with torment and suffering. Yet amidst these dark depictions lies beauty and artistry. The Danaids Condemned to Fill Bored Vessels with Water, 1730 (engraving) captures both anguish and grace as women carry out their eternal task under divine punishment. This juxtaposition mirrors how tartare itself embodies contrasting elements - raw yet refined; bold yet delicate. Moving away from mythological references, Audrey Hepburn in Sauce Tartare showcases Hollywood glamour intertwined with culinary delight. Her radiant smile reflects her enjoyment of this timeless dish while adding an air of sophistication to any dining experience. Even fabric design pays tribute to tartare's allure.
