The Five Senses - Touch, 1637
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Jan Miense Molenaer captures a comical and humorous scene set in the Dutch Golden Age. In this oil on panel painting, we are transported to an interior where a couple engages in a domestic dispute. The artist skillfully portrays the sense of touch through various actions such as hitting, grabbing, pulling, and touching. Molenaer's attention to detail is evident as he depicts the peasants with amusing expressions and exaggerated gestures. The vibrant colors and lively composition add to the overall comedic effect of the artwork. This piece belongs to a series that explores each of the five senses, focusing specifically on touch. Through his playful interpretation of everyday life, Molenaer invites us to reflect on human interactions and relationships within society during this historical period. Displayed at Mauritshuis in The Hague, Netherlands, "The Five Senses: Touch" stands as a testament to Molenaer's talent for capturing both physicality and humor in his paintings. It serves as a reminder that art has always been able to evoke emotions and provoke laughter throughout history. As we observe this delightful print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates not only an era but also universal aspects of human nature that transcend time.
