About the piece

This 1680 masterpiece by Peeter Gijsels showcases the opulence of Flemish Baroque still life painting. Set against a classical garden fountain, the composition brings together an extraordinary variety of elements—from ripe grapes and cauliflower to exotic monkeys, peacocks, and golden vessels—rendered with the meticulous detail characteristic of oil on copper.
