17th century, Dutch School
A still life with a meat pie - Dutch school, 17th century

About the Item

Oil on panel In the refined strokes of a 17th-century Dutch artist, a captivating still life unfolds, showcasing a meticulous arrangement of culinary delights that transcend the mundane. On the left side of this visual symphony lies a simple yet inviting piece of bread, its golden-brown crust and soft interior inviting contemplation on the fundamental sustenance of life. A peeled lemon, resplendent in its vibrant yellow hue, punctuates the cool, grey-toned backdrop with a burst of citrusy warmth. A roemer, generously filled with white wine, stands as a vessel of indulgence, its contents catching the play of light and shadow. The artist's attention to detail extends to a meat pie, an inviting composition of savory layers, adorned with hues of warm browns that contrast against the cool tones of the background. Wine leaves, their delicate veins traced with precision, add an organic touch, hinting at the natural origins of the indulgent feast. All these elements rest harmoniously upon a table draped with a white cloth, a canvas of purity against which the richness of the still life emerges. The overall tonality, characterized by cool greys, creates a serene and contemplative atmosphere, allowing the warm yellows and browns of the lemon, bread, and meat pie to command attention. This careful manipulation of color and composition elevates the ordinary into a visual feast, inviting viewers to savor the interplay of light, texture, and the inherent beauty found in life's simplest pleasures. The painting serves as a testament to the Dutch mastery of still life, capturing the essence of abundance and refinement in the everyday.

    While still life painting can be dated back to the Ancient Egyptians, this still life takes on a modern theme. A crystal decanter and whiskey glass are set upon a piece of fraying tapestry. The curiosity comes when the viewer takes a closer look to discover a bee has flown in and is perched precariously on the neck of the decanter. This piece is framed in a heavy wooden frame with a gold insert. The framed dimensions are H 14.5 x W 16.5 inches. Matthew Cook...

  • 17th c. Flemish, Still life with birds and raisins, workshop of Frans Snyders
    Located in PARIS, FR
    STILL LIFE WITH BIRDS AND RAISINS, WORKSHOP OF FRANS SNYDERS (1579-1657) An exquisite and attractive work, our painting with its rich and harmonious composition is one of the remarkable examples of the passion of art lovers of the 17th century for still lifes, the genre in full ferment in Antwerp in early 17th century, long before its arrival to Paris in the 1630s & 40s. Our painting presents on an entablature covered with wine-colored velvet cloth, various objects in an artistic arrangement which is intended to be spontaneous. The tight framing, like an extract and the piled up objects suggest a plenitude and an infinite richness of what nature can offer and reinforce the feeling of prosperity. The wicker basket overflowing with translucent bunches of grapes in green and purplish hues with icy reflections dominates the right side of the painting. In the center is the game birds, partridge, snipe, sparrow, pincon and others, each bird with a fine and precise design, transparent plumage, the meticulous rendering of the different beak or leg parts, zebrures and streaks of the down. On the left, two stacked white and blue Chinese...
