EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Touch" captures the essence of baroque art with its intricate details and allegorical symbolism. Painted by Gonzales Coques in oil on panel, this masterpiece measures 18x15 cm and is housed in the prestigious Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp, Belgium. In this mesmerizing artwork, a man can be seen sharpening a pen with great precision. It is believed that this could possibly be a portrait of Pieter Meert, an influential figure from the 17th century. The artist skillfully portrays the act of sharpening as an allegory for touch, one of our five senses. The composition exudes a sense of intimacy as we witness the male subject engrossed in his task. The feather quill and cutting knife serve as symbolic elements representing creativity and craftsmanship. Coques' attention to detail is evident through every brushstroke, capturing even the finest nuances. Through "Touch". Coques invites us to contemplate not only our physical sense but also its metaphorical implications. This alllegorical figure reminds us that touch goes beyond mere sensation; it encompasses emotions, connections, and experiences that shape our perception of the world. Bridgeman Images has beautifully reproduced this painting into a stunning print that allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its beauty and significance. As we gaze upon "Touch" we are reminded of the power art holds to evoke emotions and stimulate our senses
