EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite oil painting by the renowned French artist Lionel Noel Royer. This allegorical masterpiece, created in the early 20th century, captures the essence of Taste personified as a woman, surrounded by cornucopias and winged geniuses. The painting is set against a rich, indoor background, possibly intended for a mural or a large-scale wall decoration. The central figure, Taste, is depicted as a woman with an elegant, refined appearance, her naked form adorned with a cornucopia, the symbol of abundance and prosperity. She stands confidently, her gaze fixed on a doe that is gracefully drinking from a river. The doe, a symbol of purity and innocence, represents the enjoyment of simple pleasures. The painting is filled with vibrant colors and intricate details. The cornucopias overflow with an array of fruits, vegetables, and flowers, while the winged geniuses, representing various aspects of art and culture, flutter around the scene, their wings outstretched. The artistic school of the painting is reminiscent of the Symbolist movement, with its focus on allegory, mythology, and the supernatural. This stunning artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of France and the enduring influence of allegorical art. It can be found in the prestigious Petit Palais museum in Paris, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The painting's title, "Taste," suggests a deeper meaning, perhaps inviting us to consider the importance of good judgment, discernment, and appreciation in our lives.
