ADRIAEN PIETERSZ. VAN DE VENNE
(Delft 1589–1662 The Hague)
Group of paintings from a series on the senses: Hearing, Taste, Smell and Sight.
Oil on panel.
37 × 30 cm each.
Provenance:
European collection.
The paintings offered here belong to a series of the Five Senses, of which the fifth panel representing Touch is currently unknown. They were probably painted around 1630–35, at a time when Adriaen van de Venne was focused on painting grisaille. The composition of the sense of sight is known from another grisaille by Adriaen van de Venne from 1631 which is in the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg. Our four panels were all created as grisailles and were subsequently coloured by another hand.
