The Fat Kitchen
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the 16th century. Created by Pieter van der Borcht, this artwork offers a glimpse into an extraordinary culinary scene filled with whimsical elements and anthropomorphic characters. In this bustling kitchen, monkeys dressed in human attire are seen indulging in a lavish feast. They eagerly attack sausages, hams, and other delectable treats hanging from chains. A cauldron bubbles over an open fire while a singerie monkey entertains with its melodious voice. The atmosphere is lively as these mischievous creatures roast meat on spits and pour wine into their goblets. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable; every corner of the kitchen reveals something intriguing. From the stable door to the ladle used for serving, each element adds depth to the composition. The artist's skillful rendering brings life not only to the animals but also to their surroundings. "The Fat Kitchen" invites viewers into a world where animals behave like humans, creating a delightful sense of playfulness and imagination. It reminds us that food has always been at the center of social gatherings throughout history – whether enjoyed by humans or depicted through animal figures. This enchanting engraving captures both our fascination with food and our enduring love for conviviality around shared meals. It serves as a timeless reminder that dining experiences have always held great significance across cultures and time periods.
