"Die fünf Sinne" (The Five Senses) is a celebrated series of paintings by the Austrian academic painter Hans Makart (1840–1884), who was a dominant figure in European fine arts during the latter half of the 19th century. Known for his grand historical and allegorical compositions, Makart's work on "Die fünf Sinne" is a quintessential example of his lavish and sensuous style, which combined elements of the academic and the decorative, reflecting the opulent tastes of the era.

Created in the 1870s, this series comprises five paintings, each dedicated to one of the human senses - Sight, Hearing, Smell, Taste, and Touch. These works are emblematic of Makart's fascination with the sensory experiences and their allegorical representation, showcasing his mastery in handling color, form, and texture to evoke the essence of each sense. The paintings are rich in detail and imbued with a sense of romanticism and eroticism, characteristics that are often associated with Makart's oeuvre.

"Sight" is often depicted through the motif of art and observation, "Hearing" through musical instruments and the act of listening, "Smell" with flowers and fragrances, "Taste" with fruits and the act of eating, and "Touch" with textures and the human body. Makart's treatment of these themes reflects both a celebration of sensory pleasure and an exploration of the human condition, themes that were prevalent in the academic art of the period.

The series not only highlights Makart's technical prowess and his ability to capture the nuances of human experience but also serves as a reflection of the cultural and artistic preoccupations of the late 19th century, particularly the interest in symbolism, allegory, and the exploration of sensory perception. "Die fünf Sinne" remains a significant contribution to the canon of European art, exemplifying the aesthetic and thematic concerns of the fin-de-siècle period.

Hans Makart's "Die fünf Sinne" continues to be celebrated for its artistic merit and historical significance, offering insights into the cultural milieu of Vienna's artistic circles in the late 19th century. The series is a testament to Makart's legacy as a painter who bridged the worlds of academic art and emerging modern sensibilities, leaving a lasting impact on the visual arts and beyond.
