A Jug, Fruit, Food and other Things on a Table 1659 - 1660

"A Jug, Fruit, Food and other Things on a Table" (1659-1660) by Cornelis Cruys is a still life painting featuring a lavish spread of food and drink on a table, including fruit, a jug, and a silver goblet. The artist was known for his meticulous depiction of objects and textures, as seen in the detailed rendering of the grapes, the polished surfaces of the silver, and the rich fabric of the tablecloth. This Dutch still life painting, now at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to the popularity of this genre in the 17th century.
