About the piece
Created in 1653, this work by Giovanni Battista Recco is a masterful example of the Neapolitan Baroque still life. The composition uses intense chiaroscuro to highlight the tactile qualities of the fish and oysters, with a vibrant red fish anchoring the foreground against a profound, atmospheric darkness.
