About the Item

Flemish school of the 17th century Oil on canvas 52 x 60 cm (66 x 76 cm with the frame) Very beautiful old frame in gilded wood Good condition (a few repaints and craquelures) The style of our painting reminds the first period of Flemish still life of the 17th century, very descriptive and meticulous. We think of painters such as Osias Beert, Jacob van Es and Clara Peeters. The very simple composition, the warm colors (the browns and reds) and a greasy and shiny touch are particularly caracteristic. This is probably a painter who specialized in fishes and close to the Antwerp painters such as Alexander Adriaenssen and Clara Peeters. The latter in particular used to arrange the elements of her still lifes very simply and detached, on a very dark background, and she was focusing on rendering the reflections on metallic objects, pieces, dishes, vases and bowls. She also had a palette of colors can became more and more restricted, to monochrome harmonies of gray and brown. Still life painting is also a symbol game. In the center the fishes are a clear reference to Christians. On the left of the composition, myrtle's fruits, a symbol of immortality in the 17th century (myrtle being an evergreen shrub!) And on the right two clumps of butter in an earthen pot, the butter representing in the biblical exegesis the humanity of Christ as opposed to honey, which represents its divine nature. And a cut lemon testifies the bitterness of existence ! A pitcher in the background evokes the wine and therefore the blood of Christ and the sacrifice. The spoon in the center is an invitation to the viewer to taste the symbolic foods here presented. And the meaning may be to seek immortality through sacrifices by following the example of the humanity of Jesus Christ through sacrifices without avoiding the bitterness of life !
