About the piece
Created in 1612 by Abraham Govaerts, this Flemish oil painting presents the 'Five Senses' as an assembly of allegorical figures. Nestled beneath a dense canopy of ancient oaks, the scene transitions from the intimate gathering in the foreground to a luminous distant vista of a lakeside manor, showcasing the masterful atmospheric perspective typical of the period.
