Still Life with Fish 1645 - 1681

"Still Life with Fish", painted between 1645-1681 by Isaac van Duynen, exemplifies the Dutch tradition of still life painting. The work depicts an array of seafood on a tabletop, including cod, flatfish, crabs, oysters and mussels, all arranged in a visually compelling composition. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the realistic portrayal of the textures and colors of the fish and shellfish. The painting is a testament to van Duynen's skill as a master of the still life genre, a genre that flourished in the Netherlands during the 17th century.
