EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a lively tavern scene, titled "The Sense of Smell" painted by Jan Miense Molenaer. Set in a Dutch inn, the artist skillfully portrays various elements that evoke both humor and intrigue. The interior is filled with smoke, creating an atmosphere of leisure and camaraderie among the patrons. In the foreground, we see a barrel where men gather around to enjoy their drinks and tobacco pipes. However, one woman appears visibly disgusted by the smell emanating from these activities. Her expression adds a touch of comedy to this otherwise ordinary scene. The painting beautifully showcases Molenaer's attention to detail as he depicts objects such as golden pipes and an urn on display. These still-life elements contribute to the overall charm of the composition. "The Sense of Smell" invites viewers into a world where senses collide – from the odors of tobacco and alcohol to the shades cast by dim lighting. It offers us a glimpse into 17th-century Dutch pub culture while also highlighting universal themes like human reactions to different smells. Displayed at Musee departemental de Gap in France, this artwork continues to captivate audiences with its humorous narrative and masterful execution. Jean Bernard's print preserves every intricate detail for art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate without any commercial use intentions mentioned or implied.
