Are you a riddle master? Klaas Muller presents The Five Senses, a 16th century Flemish Old Master painting with an exciting iconography...
It is a rare example of a moralising and humorous painting at the same time, commonly depicted in the circles of the "Rederijkers" and the late 16th century intellectual elite. Inventories of this period show that pictures such as these were also hung in the dining rooms of the wealthy bourgeoisie in Mechelen and Antwerp, as a conversation piece: to erudite and delight the informed viewer.
Join Klaas Muller in his gallery in Brussels during BRAFA in the Galleries from 27 - 31 January 2021. BRAFA in the Galleries is the newly created alternative to the BRAFA Art Fair at Tour & Taxis, Brussels, which has been postponed to January 2022. Our exhibitors will welcome you in their galleries, where they will present the objects and artworks selected for BRAFA 2021 in the best possible conditions. In total, 126 exhibitions will be organized in 13 countries and 37 cities so you will most likely be able to also view a BRAFA exhibition in your area!
