Original Description
Jan Brueghel the Younger's El Olfato (The Sense of Smell) is a captivating Baroque masterpiece that immerses viewers in a sensory symphony of flowers, exotic objects, and allegorical richness. As part of a series depicting the five senses, this 17th-century oil painting inherits the meticulous detail and luminous textures of the Brueghel dynasty, blending scientific curiosity with opulent still-life traditions. Set against a darkened background, the composition bursts with blooming roses, tulips, and carnations, arranged alongside perfumed gloves, vessels, and even a small monkey—a playful nod to nature's diversity. The work reflects the Habsburg courts' fascination with collecting and symbolism, while its collaborative origins (often paired with Rubens' figures) highlight the era's workshop practices. As a Flemish genre pioneer, Brueghel elevates still life beyond decoration, capturing the ephemeral through enduring artistry.
When displaying El Olfato in interiors, lean into its opulent warmth by selecting spaces with refined historical accents—think wood-paneled studies, traditional dining rooms, or boutique hotel lobbies. The painting's rich burgundy and gold undertones harmonize with leather furnishings, gilded mirrors, or Persian rugs, while its 60x110cm scale (common for cabinet paintings) suits feature walls above consoles or between bookshelves. For contemporary contrast, frame it in minimalist black oak against sage walls, letting the floral profusion become a timeless focal point. In offices, pair it with antique brass desk accessories to echo its metallic details, ensuring proper LED lighting to enhance the flowers' velvety textures. Avoid cluttered arrangements; this work demands breathing room to let its Baroque storytelling unfold.
