"The Sense of Taste" is a 1618 painting by Flemish artist Jan Brueghel the Elder, also known as "Velvet" Brueghel, renowned for his detailed landscapes and still life compositions. This work is part of a series of paintings that depict the five senses, a popular theme in Renaissance and Baroque art. Brueghel's interpretation of the senses often involved elaborate allegories, combining both human figures and a cornucopia of objects related to each sense.

In "The Sense of Taste," Brueghel presents a scene rich with culinary delights and activities that stimulate the palate. The painting features a banquet table laden with an abundance of food, around which figures engage in the enjoyment of eating and drinking, thus exploring the theme of taste. The artwork is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, vibrant color palette, and the harmonious arrangement of its numerous elements, which was typical of Brueghel's sophisticated style.

As with other works by Jan Brueghel the Elder, "The Sense of Taste" showcases the artist's skill in rendering textures and surfaces, making the depicted edibles and utensils appear tantalizingly real. The painting not only serves as a visual feast but also provides insight into the culinary and social practices of the time.

"The Sense of Taste" is often examined in the context of its companion pieces representing the other senses—sight, hearing, touch, and smell—each of which offers a unique perspective on human experience through the lens of art. These works collectively demonstrate Brueghel's versatility and his ability to infuse still life with narrative and allegorical significance. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an example of the cultural and intellectual preoccupations of the early 17th century.
