EDITORS COMMENTS
This still life painting by Georg Flegel, titled "Still Life with Flowers and Snack" transports us back to the early 17th century in Germany. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures a scene of nature's beauty intertwined with delectable food. In the foreground, an array of vibrant flowers bursts forth from a vase, their petals delicately painted in various shades. Amongst them, we spot cherries hanging temptingly from their stems, symbolizing abundance and indulgence. A bowl filled with olives rests nearby on a plate adorned with roasted chicken—a sumptuous feast for the eyes. Flegel's mastery extends beyond flora and fauna; he also includes objects that hint at daily life during this period. An egg timer sits atop the tablecloth-covered surface, reminding us of the importance of time management even centuries ago. A jar of horseradish adds a touch of piquancy to the composition while an oil lamp casts its warm glow upon this picturesque scene. The painting exudes a sense of tranquility and harmony between man-made objects and natural elements. It invites viewers to appreciate not only the visual aesthetics but also contemplate themes such as nourishment, leisurely meals shared among loved ones, and our connection to nature. Currently housed within the esteemed State Hermitage collection in St Petersburg, this artwork serves as a testament to Flegel's talent as well as his contribution to German art history during the Baroque era
