EDITORS COMMENTS
Peeter Gysels' Still Life with Vegetables before a Draped, Overturned Plinth by an Ornamental Fountain, created between 1680 and 1690, is a stunning example of Flemish Baroque art. The oil on copper painting depicts a chaotic yet harmonious arrangement of vegetables and fruit spilling from a table, with a black grape cluster and melons taking center stage. The still life is set against the backdrop of an exterior scene, with an ornamental fountain and a pair of overturned pillars adding an element of chaos to the composition. The painting's rich colors and intricate details showcase the artist's mastery of the Baroque style. The draped fabric on the plinth, the gold accents on the crockery and metalware, and the reflections on the water surface of the fountain all contribute to the painting's visual appeal. The location of the painting is not clear, but it is believed to be set in a garden or an outdoor setting, possibly in the Netherlands or the Low Countries. The painting's title reflects its main elements: the still life of vegetables and fruit, the draped plinth, and the ornamental fountain. Peeter Gysels, also known as Pieter Gysels or Peeter Gheysels, was a prominent Flemish painter of the late 17th century. His works often featured still lifes with an emphasis on the abundance and richness of nature. This painting, with its intricate details and dynamic composition, is a testament to Gysels' artistic skill and the beauty of the Baroque era.
