Product description
Oil on canvas depicting a spectacular still life of fruit. Executed during the 20th century, following Baroque models. Signed in the lower right corner "Seville School, J. Hernández". It displays the characteristic style of its genre, realistic and meticulous, which gradually gained importance in the history of art. The great artist Caravaggio (1573-1610) was one of the first artists to depict still lifes with a sense of pictorial significance, but many others made use of them at some point in their careers. With origins in antiquity and very popular in Western art since the 17th century, the still life gives the artist more compositional freedom than other pictorial genres such as landscape or portraiture. Before 1700, they often contained religious and allegorical symbolism related to the objects they represented. Also known as still lifes, they often feature animals, flowers, fruits, foods, plants, and more. Their development is part of a growing appreciation for painting and an explosion of interest in naturalism and the imitation of nature that began to develop at the end of the previous century. The work, as is common in its genre, stands out for the sobriety of its composition and the tenebrist interest reflected in the dark background, shrouded in shadows from which the fruits seem to emerge, resting on the surface of a wooden board or table. Regarding the composition, on the right half there is a wine jug covered with a white cloth, and on the left, a wicker basket overflowing with apples and grapes, which end up falling onto the tabletop.
