About the piece
This 1640 masterpiece by Jacob van Es is a quintessential example of the Flemish 'Pronkstilleven' or sumptuous still life. The work showcases masterful texture work, contrasting the hard, vibrant red of a lobster shell with the glistening surfaces of fresh oysters and the organic forms of artichokes against a deep, dramatic background.
