EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of Five Meissen figures emblematic of the senses, crafted around 1765 by the renowned porcelain artist Johann Joachim Kaendler. Standing at an impressive height of 28.5 cm, these delicate figurines depict scantily clad nymphs accompanied by playful putti, each representing one of the five senses. The exquisite craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the ornate drapery adorning their bodies to the intricate musical instruments they hold. These allegorical figures symbolize sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell – personifications that have been beautifully captured in ceramic form. The rococo-style decorations further enhance their allure as decorative ornaments. The nymphs' graceful poses and serene expressions evoke a sense of elegance and refinement. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene, we are transported into a world where music fills the air and delectable aromas waft through our senses. It reminds us that art has the power to transcend time and space while evoking emotions within us. This mesmerizing print serves as a testament to Kaendler's artistic genius and his ability to create objects that not only please our eyes but also engage our imagination. It is truly a treasure for any collector or admirer of fine porcelain craftsmanship.
