This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a mesmerizing scene titled "Mesa de 50 cubiertos Arte de reposteria en que se contiene todo genero de hacer dulces secos, y en liquido, vizcochos, turrones, y natas: bebidas heladas de todos generos, rosolis, mistelas, andc. : con una breve instruccion para conocer las frutas, y servirlas crudas: y diez mesas, con su explicacion" by Juan de la Mata. Created in the 18th century and engraved in 1747, this artwork transports us to an era of grandeur and culinary excellence. The focal point of this image is a horseshoe-shaped table meticulously set for fifty guests. The table's unique design allows for seamless service without any obstructions. Adorned with intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship, it truly epitomizes elegance. As we explore further into the image's composition, we are captivated by various elements that adorn the table. A magnificent fountain takes center stage (no. 1), surrounded by garden-like centerpieces adorned with delicate sugar figures and flowers (no. 2). Belvederes (no. 3) add an architectural touch to the arrangement while Chinese jars (no. 5) infuse an exotic flair. Pyramids rise gracefully alongside vessels holding wafers, cheese assortments, fruits galore - both fresh and dried -, cakes fit for royalty, and compotes that tantalize our taste buds with their vibrant colors and flavors. This remarkable engraving not only serves as a visual feast but also offers valuable insights into dessert-making techniques of its time through its detailed instruction manual on recognizing fruits and serving them raw. Immerse yourself in history as you gaze upon this extraordinary piece of art that celebrates culinary mastery at its finest!
