Original Description
The paired paintings Allegorie Des Geruchs (Allegory of Smell) and Allegorie Des Geschmackssinns (Allegory of Taste) by Giovanni Michele Graneri are exquisite examples of 18th-century Baroque allegorical art. Richly detailed and sumptuously colored, these works immerse the viewer in a sensory world—luxurious fabrics, ripe fruits, and delicate floral arrangements practically emanate fragrance and flavor. Graneri, an Italian Rococo painter influenced by Tiepolo's theatricality, renders the scenes with refined elegance, combining soft pastels with dynamic compositions. These paintings belong to the tradition of Five Senses allegories, popularized in the 17th century by artists like Brueghel and Rubens. Positioned between decorative art and intellectual narrative, they reflect Enlightenment-era fascination with human perception while showcasing Piedmontese aristocratic taste. Their balanced yet vibrant style bridges late Baroque opulence and early Rococo playfulness, making them significant transitional works in Italian Northern School painting.
For interior styling, these paintings demand a setting worthy of their grandeur. Ideal for a formal dining room or library, their elongated vertical format (typical of Graneri’s overdoor decorations) suits high walls or flanking architectural features like fireplaces. Pair with gilded Louis XV-style frames to enhance their Rococo essence, and situate them under warm ambient lighting to accentuate the peachy flesh tones and emerald drapery. Complement their palette with olive-green velvet upholstery or terracotta accents, while avoiding competing patterns—solid-color walls in taupe or muted ochre would provide perfect grounding. Scale-wise, they’d harmonize with tall Rococo mirrors or console tables beneath. In offices, they’d elevate executive spaces when combined with dark wood paneling, their allegorical sophistication subtly reflecting refined discernment.
