Opstilling med vinglas, østers, citron og andre frugter 1848

"Opstilling med vinglas, østers, citron og andre frugter" (1848) by Carl Balsgaard is a still life painting featuring an assortment of fruit, a wine glass, and other objects on a table. The composition is rich in detail, capturing the textures of the grapes, peaches, and oysters with meticulous realism. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensional quality of the objects, creating a sense of depth and presence. This work exemplifies the Danish Golden Age tradition of still life painting, which emphasized meticulous rendering and evocative symbolism. The abundance of fruit suggests prosperity and abundance, while the presence of the wine glass hints at a convivial atmosphere. The work is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
