Still Life 1666

Christiaen van Dielaert's 1666 "Still Life" showcases the artist's mastery of the genre. The composition features a lavish spread of fruits, including grapes, pomegranates, figs, and a halved melon, arranged on a table draped with rich fabric. A silver pitcher, a gold goblet, and a glass of wine add to the sense of abundance and luxury. The painting, with its meticulous detail and subdued color palette, reflects the Dutch Golden Age tradition of still-life painting, emphasizing the transience of life through the depiction of perishable items.
