Le Midy - An Affectionate Expression of Aristocratic Dining in the 17th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This coloured engraving, titled "Le Midy" offers a glimpse into the sophisticated world of aristocratic dining during the late 17th century. Created by an anonymous French artist from that era, this print showcases a scene reminiscent of a valentine card – an expression of love and admiration through food. The image transports us to a lavish table setting adorned with exquisite platters, elegant knives, forks, and round dishes filled with delectable poultry and game pies. The opulence is palpable as we witness nobles indulging in their midday meal within their period costumes. Every detail in this artwork speaks volumes about the wealthy society it portrays. The rich verse accompanying the scene adds another layer of refinement to this visual feast. It is evident that dining was not merely sustenance for these individuals; it was an art form meant to be savored and celebrated. As we observe this enchanting engraving, we are reminded of the privileged lives led by those who could afford such luxurious feasts. This piece serves as both historical documentation and artistic representation of a time when dining was elevated to new heights. Brought to you by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this print captures not only our imagination but also our appreciation for the grandeur and elegance that once graced noble tables centuries ago.
