From Drinking to Savoir-boire : Wine as Foodstuff and Pleasure

MERRY COMPANY

Isaac Elias (1590-1630)

1629

Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

For many centuries, wine has been a foodstuff, a tonic and an essential part of everyday life. Today, wine is seen as medically suspect and sometimes socially problematic. Enjoyment in moderation is the new norm.

​

The ‘From Drinking to Savoir-Boire’ collection contains more than 360 paintings, of which many are the work of great masters!
