About the piece
Attributed to Francesco Maltese around 1650, this masterfully executed still life showcases the opulence of the Italian Baroque. The composition juxtaposes the soft, intricate embroidery of silken cushions with the hard, metallic gleam of a knight's armor, creating a scene of aristocratic abundance and timeless elegance.
