Summary

Artist Pietro Paolini (1603–1681) Description Italian painter

Date of birth/death 3 June 1603 12 April 1681 Location of birth Lucca Work location Lucca Title Allegory of the Five Senses Description English: At first glace, this is simply a scene in a darkened inn frequented by the poor and down-and-out. Embedding a classical allegory (a symbolic image) in such a subject makes it especially intriguing. Each person acts out one of the five senses: sound is represented by the woman with a lute, at center; taste, by the man emptying a flask of wine; smell, by the young man with a melon; sight, by the man on the right holding a pair of spectacles; and touch, by the two people who are fighting. Paolini's allegory dates from his early years in Rome, where he studied the paintings of (1571-1610), known for their realism and strong (modeling in light and shade).
