The Sense of Taste is a 1720 by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows four people at a table, focused on food and drink. One man in a white cap holds a glass, smiling. Another pours from a pitcher while a child leans in. The room has tall windows and dark walls, with a mirror and shelves in the background. The artist plays with light and shadow to make the scene feel lively. The way the faces and objects pop against the dark background is a trick called *chiaroscuro*. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark to create drama.
