Circle of JAN VAN KESSEL THE YOUNGER “Seeing”, “Smelling”, “Hearing” and “Touching” Oil on copper, 17.5 x 14.2 cm. £ 10,000-15,000 Catalogue note: This set of four panels were conceived as a group of allegories of the four senses; seeing, smelling, hearing and touching. These compositions were immensely popular throughout the 17th century. Jan Brueghel the Younger, Van Kessel’s uncle, is also known to have made several copies of the Allegory of Air, each of them with figures by Hendrick van Balen or his circle. Many further replicas painted in and outside the workshops of both Brueghels survive, as do a small number of much smaller versions by Van Kessel himself.
