About the piece
Painted by Johannes Borman in 1653, this oil on canvas captures a vibrant festoon of fruit including peaches, grapes, and cherries. The work is a classic example of Dutch Golden Age still life, using high-contrast lighting to emphasize the luminous textures and colors of the produce against a deep void. A delicate butterfly adds a sense of fleeting life to this masterful composition.
