Art history with a scratch-and-sniff twist

Across 12 paintings spanning five centuries, this interactive guide pairs familiar artworks with imagined scents: wine for Caravaggio’s *Bacchus*, sea air for Hokusai’s *The Great Wave off Kanagawa*, and diner coffee for Edward Hopper’s *Nighthawks*. Museum-style captions add facts about the artists and works, alongside commentary on the eras in which they were created. The sensory format gives the book a playful way to introduce art history, linking each painting to details readers can explore by sight, smell, and text.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Art lovers interested in an informal, interactive introduction to famous paintings
