"L'odorat" is an engraving by the Dutch artist Hendrick Goltzius, created in 1588 as part of a series representing the five senses. Goltzius, renowned for his virtuosity in engraving and printmaking, was a leading figure in the Northern Mannerist movement of the late 16th century. His works are characterized by their intricate detail, elaborate compositions, and the skillful use of line to create texture and depth.

The "L'odorat" engraving depicts the sense of smell through a scene rich in allegorical and mythological references. The central figure is often a woman, surrounded by elements that suggest fragrance and aroma, such as flowers, perfumes, or incense. These objects not only serve to illustrate the sense but also to engage the viewer in a deeper understanding of its symbolic and cultural significance.

As part of the series on the senses, "L'odorat" reflects the period's fascination with human perception and the ways in which the senses were understood to link the material and spiritual worlds. Goltzius's work in this series exemplifies the Mannerist style, with its emphasis on artifice, elegance, and the exploration of complex themes through allegory.

The engraving is held in various collections and has been the subject of scholarly study in the context of Goltzius's oeuvre and the broader artistic and cultural trends of the late Renaissance. It is valued for its technical excellence and its contribution to the iconography of the senses, which was a popular subject in European art of the time.

"L'odorat" by Hendrick Goltzius remains an important work for understanding the intersection of art, science, and philosophy in the late 16th century, as well as for appreciating the aesthetic achievements of engraving as a medium during the Northern Renaissance.
