About the piece
Painted by Adriaen van Utrecht in 1653, this masterpiece of Flemish Baroque art exemplifies the 'pronkstilleven' (ornate still life) style. The composition contrasts the rich, warm reds of a boiled lobster with the cool, luminous blues of a peacock's neck, surrounded by overflowing baskets of grapes and apples that suggest abundance and the fleeting nature of life.
