EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: Still Life Feast - A Visual Delight from the 1600s This exquisite still life painting, dated circa 1600s, presents a sumptuous feast laid out on a beautifully adorned table. The artist, Cornelis de Heem, masterfully captures the essence of abundance and richness through an array of serving platters filled with an assortment of delectable items. The centerpiece of the table is a vibrant assortment of fresh fruits, including grapefruit, melons, grapes, a sliced pear, and a peeled apple. The juicy fruits are arranged in a harmonious balance, their colors popping against the muted tones of the tablecloth and the dark wooden table. Surrounding the fruits are an assortment of vegetables, such as artichokes, asparagus, and cabbage, adding earthy textures and tones to the composition. A platter of cherries and peaches completes the fruit selection, their rosy hues adding a touch of sweetness to the scene. The feast would not be complete without a serving of fish, which is artfully displayed on a silver platter. The sliced fish, with its shimmering scales and glistening eyes, adds a sense of freshness and liveliness to the still life. Nuts, scattered around the table, add a crunchy contrast to the soft textures of the fruits and vegetables. The table is set with elegant tableware, adding to the overall sense of opulence and grandeur. This stunning still life painting, published in Volume 10, April 1919, of March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a visual delight that transports us to another era, inviting us to indulge in the sensory experience of a bygone age.
