Vitis vinifera (almindelig vin) 1649 - 1659

"Vitis vinifera (almindelig vin)" is a watercolor painting by Danish artist Hans Simon Holtzbecker, created between 1649 and 1659. The artwork depicts a cluster of grapes in meticulous detail, highlighting the deep purple hues and the delicate texture of the fruit. This botanical study, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Holtzbecker's mastery of depicting natural subjects with scientific precision and artistic finesse. This work is an example of still life and botanical art and contributes to the understanding of the artistic and scientific trends of the 17th century.
