About the piece

Painted in 1619 by Ludovico de Susio, this striking oil on panel work exemplifies the detailed realism of early 17th-century still life. The composition features a vibrant apple, lemons, and scattered walnuts alongside delicate sugared treats, all carefully observed and contrasted against a dramatic, dark void that highlights the artist's technical precision and use of chiaroscuro.
