EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Louis Leopold Bailly's "Representation of the five senses" from 1894. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of touch, hearing, smell, taste, and sight. Each sense is personified through intricate details and symbolism. In this artwork, Bailly masterfully depicts a young girl exploring her senses with curiosity and wonder. Her delicate fingers gently touch an object, representing the sense of touch. She leans forward attentively towards a sound source to represent hearing while delicately smelling a flower to symbolize smell. The artist also portrays taste by illustrating the girl's tongue slightly protruding as if she were savoring something delicious. Lastly, her wide-open eyes signify sight as she takes in all that surrounds her. Bailly's engraving not only serves as an anatomical study but also carries deeper meaning about our connection with the world around us. Through his skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail, he invites viewers to reflect on how these senses shape our experiences and understanding of life. This remarkable piece offers a glimpse into both scientific exploration and artistic expression from the late 19th century. It stands as a testament to Bailly's talent as an anatomist and Giancarlo Costa's expertise in capturing fine art prints for contemporary audiences to appreciate today.
