About the piece
Attributed to the circle of Pietro Navarra, this 1689 still life capture the opulence of the Italian Baroque. The composition centers on the dramatic textures of a sliced watermelon, surrounded by a luminous variety of grapes, peaches, and figs. Arranged on tiered stone ledges against a moody, shadowed background, the work demonstrates a masterful command of light and naturalistic detail.
