Original Description
Hans Makart’s Die fünf Sinne (The Five Senses) is a lavish, theatrical masterpiece that epitomizes the artist’s signature Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art) approach. Painted in 1879 at the height of the Viennese luxury culture, the work celebrates the Rococo Revival style, blending opulent textures, rich colors, and idealized figures to depict allegorical representations of sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell. Makart, a central figure of 19th-century historicism, infused the canvas with Baroque grandeur and Romantic sensibilities, creating an immersive, dreamlike tableau. The painting’s dramatic staging and meticulous attention to drapery, flora, and flesh reflect his influence on the Vienna Secessionists, particularly Gustav Klimt. A symbol of Makart’s role as the "magician of colors," Die fünf Sinne remains a defining work of opulent academicism, bridging historic art traditions and the decadent aesthetics of fin-de-siècle Europe.
When displaying Die fünf Sinne in a home or office, consider a formal, high-ceilinged space to mirror its grand scale (Makart’s works were often monumental). Ideal settings include a classic library, a luxe dining room, or a corporate lobby with neoclassical or Art Nouveau interiors. The painting’s warm, jewel-toned palette—deep reds, golds, and ivories—pairs beautifully with gilded frames, velvet furnishings, or dark wood accents. For modern spaces, balance its ornate style with minimalist surroundings, allowing the artwork to dominate. A large wall with controlled lighting (e.g., directional spotlights) enhances its intricate details. In smaller rooms, a high-quality reproduction in a modest size can evoke its essence without overwhelming the space, harmonizing with luxe textiles or metallic decor for cohesion.
