"The Sense of Smell" is an oil painting by Flemish artist Jan Brueghel the Elder, created in 1617-1618 as part of a series depicting the five senses. This series is a collaboration with Peter Paul Rubens, who painted the figures in some of the works. "The Sense of Smell" specifically explores the olfactory sense through a detailed and vibrant composition that combines still life, genre scenes, and landscape elements, a testament to Brueghel's skill in creating intricate and harmonious arrangements.

In the painting, Brueghel presents a variety of objects and activities associated with the sense of smell, such as floral arrangements, perfumes, and a scene of people engaged in the preparation of fragrances. The inclusion of these elements not only illustrates the theme but also showcases the artist's ability to render textures and surfaces with high fidelity, a hallmark of his style.

The work is part of a larger conversation within the art of the period about the senses and their representation, reflecting the intellectual and cultural preoccupations of the early 17th century. Brueghel's series on the senses was highly influential and contributed to the popularity of this theme in Baroque art.

"The Sense of Smell" is celebrated for its meticulous attention to detail, rich color palette, and the seamless integration of naturalistic and allegorical elements. It remains an important example of Jan Brueghel the Elder's contribution to Flemish painting and the Baroque period's fascination with sensory perception and allegory. The painting is held in a private collection, and its exhibition history includes appearances in major museums and galleries, which have allowed the public to appreciate its artistry and historical significance.
