Fruit and Flowers 1625 - 1635

"Fruit and Flowers" (1625-1635), by Italian Baroque artist Orsola Maddalena Caccia, displays a cornucopia of fruit and flowers in meticulous detail. The painting features a vibrant composition of apples, pears, peaches, plums, pomegranates, and various flowers including irises and tulips, all set against a dark background. Caccia's work highlights the beauty and fragility of nature, capturing the subtle variations in color and texture of each element. This still life, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases her talent for depicting natural forms with precision and elegance.
