About the piece

Painted around 1670, this still life by Cornelis de Heem captures the opulent spirit of the Dutch Golden Age. The artist demonstrates extraordinary technical skill in rendering the contrasting textures of velvety peach skin, translucent grapes, and the peel of a partially unwound orange, all emerging from a dramatic, dark atmosphere.
