on a whim ... let's see if there are any other sets of allegories of the five senses before or after the ones painted by goltzius and engraved by by jan saenredam ? this is gonna take a while ...

























































































































next up jan breughel and peter paul rubens ...











































































and then, adriaen collaert engraving from designs by maerten de voos ...






































































































philip mercier had a go ... great set ...








































































































later, in vienna, hans makart ...
