I'm looking for reproductions of "The Five Senses" (a series of 5 paintings) by Jan Miense Molenaer.
I can't find any source for them. I obviously haven't looked everywhere though. Do any of you know a source for these specific paintings?
This is a hard one too:
Is there a reproduction of Donatello's statue "The Magdalen"? I've searched many sites selling reproductions of statues. But I might have missed the one that has this statue available.

you can commission a reproduction here
seems this one is a rarity.
So is a reporof the Donatello.
How about the museums that hold the works? A gift shop perhaps?
Good Luck
Quinn: Thank you for the link on Molenaer. That is the closest I've come to finding reproductions - but way beyond my checkbook's reach. I've seen the originals at the Mauritshuis in The Hague. Even there the best I could do is postcards, and then only of "Sight".
Donatello probably doesn't exist.
It's a conspiracy to keep me away from paintings I like and am afraid to steal. Even the Art Institute in Chicago can't supply me with reproductions of anything by Ivan Albright - another fruitless search.
Glad the link at least has you inspired to win the lottery or some such thing.
Keep seraching, you just never know what will pop up.
Best of Luck.
The Five Senses
This is the only site I found that has pictures of the Five Senses, but no info about reproduction sources:

New York Graphic Society is where most museum shops get their reproductions and you can buy direct:
