About the piece
Painted by Spanish master Francisco Barrera in 1630, this 'Allegory of the Month of July' is a masterful example of the seventeenth-century bodegón. The composition meticulously balances the season's earthly treasures—including squash, cabbage, and fresh figs—alongside fish and game, symbolizing the abundance of the summer harvest. A small landscape window on the left adds depth to the otherwise intimate, shadowed interior.
