Southern Fruit Pedestal Dish 

Fede Galizia’s “Southern Fruit Pedestal Dish” is a still life painting depicting a variety of fruit and a vase in exquisite detail. The painting, featuring a silver pedestal dish overflowing with grapes, pears, figs, peaches and plums, exudes realism, characteristic of Galizia's style. The composition, with fruit scattered across the table in addition to the centerpiece, suggests abundance and a celebration of nature's bounty. This work, created by one of the first prominent female Italian artists, stands as a testament to Galizia’s artistic skill and mastery of the still life genre.
