About the piece

Painted around 1600 by the Italian master Caravaggio, 'Basket of Fruit' is a revolutionary work that helped establish still life as a prestigious genre. The painting is renowned for its uncompromising realism, depicting not only the lush ripeness of the fruit but also the withered leaves and wormholes that serve as a quiet reminder of the passing of time.
