EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Smell" captures a moment of intrigue and sensory exploration. Painted by Gonzales Coques, this oil on panel masterpiece measures 18x15 cm and is housed in the Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp, Belgium. The artwork portrays a man delicately sniffing a rolled and dried tobacco leaf, possibly depicting the esteemed Luke Faid'herbe (1617-1697). This baroque-inspired composition beautifully represents the sense of smell as one of the five senses. Through its allegorical nature, it invites viewers to contemplate the power and significance of scent in our lives. The half-length portrayal of a male figure adds depth to this allegoric representation. Coques skillfully captures every detail with his masterful brushstrokes, bringing life to each element within the painting. From the texture of the tobacco leaf to the contemplative expression on the subject's face, every aspect contributes to an immersive visual experience. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded that art has always been intertwined with human experiences and emotions. This particular piece serves as a testament to our fascination with exploring different senses through artistic expressions. Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another remarkable treasure from their Fine Art Finder collection – an exquisite print that allows us to appreciate Coques' talent and immerse ourselves in this alluring world where scents come alive on canvas.
