Natureza morta 1660

Josefa de Óbidos was a Portuguese Baroque painter known for her still life paintings. "Natureza Morta" (1660) is a classic example of Óbidos' work. It depicts a silver bowl overflowing with sweets and pastries, and accented by flowers scattered on the table and in the dark background. This still life painting is known for its detailed rendering of the objects, and use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and dimension. The inclusion of flowers adds a touch of beauty and delicacy to the composition, contributing to the overall elegance of the artwork.
