Original Description
Hans Makart's Die Fünf Sinne: Geschmack (The Five Senses: Tasting) is a lush, theatrical celebration of sensory indulgence, embodying the opulence of 19th-century academic painting. Created in 1879 as part of his famed series on the five senses, this work depicts an idealized female figure reclining luxuriously, surrounded by sumptuous fruits, fine china, and cascading fabrics—a visual feast mirroring the act of taste itself. Makart, a leading figure of Austrian Academic art, was renowned for his historical-allegorical scenes and influence on the Viennese "Makartstil," blending Baroque grandeur with Romantic sensibilities. The painting's rich textures, warm tones, and meticulous detailing reflect his mastery of creating immersive, sensual tableaux. Historically, Makart's work bridged the gap between tradition and the emerging avant-garde, influencing artists like Klimt. Geschmack exemplifies his role as a cultural icon, capturing the excess and allure of the Habsburg Empire's twilight years.
For interiors, Geschmack thrives in spaces that echo its decadence—consider a formal dining room, a luxury hotel lobby, or a curated office lounge. Its warm caramel tones and gold accents pair beautifully with dark wood furnishings, velvet upholstery, and gilded frames. Opt for a sizable reproduction (at least 36x24 inches) to do justice to Makart's intricate details, preferably hung as a focal point against deep burgundy or emerald walls. Complement it with Baroque-inspired mirrors or crystal chandeliers to amplify its theatrical flair. In modern settings, balance its richness with minimalist silhouettes or metallic finishes for contrast. The painting's narrative quality also makes it ideal for hospitality spaces, inviting conversation while evoking timeless sophistication.
