Painting Description
''Still-life with Chessboard (The Five Senses)'' is a 1630 painting by the French Baroque artist Lubin Baugin, which is renowned for its intricate symbolism and representation of the five human senses. This oil on wood painting measures 55 cm by 73 cm and is part of the collection at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Baugin, who specialized in still-life compositions, showcases his skill in rendering textures and objects with meticulous detail and subtle use of light.
The painting features a chessboard at its center, surrounded by various objects that are carefully arranged to symbolize sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch. The chessboard itself, with its patterned squares and strategically placed chess pieces, represents the sense of sight and the intellectual game's demand for visual strategy. A lute and music books, evoking the sense of sound, rest beside the board, while fruits and a glass of wine, suggesting taste, are prominently displayed in the foreground. Fragrant flowers hint at the sense of smell, and the tactile quality of the objects, such as the smooth surfaces of the glass and the textured rinds of the fruit, engage the sense of touch.
Baugin's work is noted for its quiet elegance and the contemplative mood it evokes. The painting is a fine example of the still-life genre during the 17th century, a period when such works were gaining popularity and were often laden with allegorical meanings. ''Still-life with Chessboard (The Five Senses)'' not only demonstrates Baugin's technical prowess but also reflects the intellectual and cultural preoccupations of the era, particularly the interest in sensory perception and the philosophical discussions surrounding it.
The painting's composition, with its harmonious balance and the interplay of light and shadow, reveals Baugin's mastery of the still-life form and his ability to infuse inanimate objects with a sense of life and meaning. ''Still-life with Chessboard (The Five Senses)'' remains an important work in the oeuvre of Lubin Baugin and a significant piece in the history of still-life painting, offering viewers a glimpse into the artistic and conceptual concerns of the 17th-century French art scene.
