About the piece

Created around 1650 by Francisco Barranco, this Spanish 'bodegón' captures the tactile beauty of everyday objects with dramatic Baroque lighting. The composition features a careful arrangement of seafood, including a silver-scaled herring and open oysters, alongside well-used kitchen implements like a wooden tub and copper vessels, all set against a deep, atmospheric background.
