COQUES, Gonzales - Taste (Artwork) Crewneck Sweatshirt

This crewneck sweatshirt features a design inspired by "Taste," a painting attributed to or after Flemish Baroque artist Gonzales Coques. The artwork is part of a series representing the five senses, a popular theme in 17th-century art.

A Feast for the Eyes

The design depicts a man engaging in the act of tasting. He is shown enjoying wine from a roemer, a specific type of glass, while surrounded by a table set with oysters and bread. These elements are chosen to represent the sense of taste, reflecting the typical fare enjoyed in 17th-century taverns.

Symbolism and Meaning

The artwork embodies the symbolic tradition of the era, where everyday activities were used to represent human faculties. The choice of a drinking scene highlights the sense of taste through an intimate and domestic scene. This approach reflects the bourgeois tastes and lifestyle of the time, making the high art of portraiture more accessible.

Artist Community and Style

The original series, which likely included "Taste," is believed to feature portraits of fellow Antwerp artists. The small-scale portrait style, typical of Coques, creates an approachable and intimate feel, a key characteristic that earned him the nickname "the little van Dyck."
