A Table with Drinking Vessel and Confectionery 1645 - 1688

Georg Hainz’s “A Table with Drinking Vessel and Confectionery” is a 17th-century still life oil painting that showcases the artist’s mastery of light and shadow. The painting is notable for its intricate details of various objects, including a silver goblet, a bowl of fruit, and confectioneries, all carefully arranged on a table. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the objects placed in a way that creates a sense of depth and perspective. The use of chiaroscuro, with its interplay of light and dark, adds a sense of drama and realism to the scene. This work, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, demonstrates Hainz's expertise in depicting the luxurious objects of the period.
