About the piece
Painted in 1771 by the Spanish master Luis Egidio Meléndez, this work is a superb example of the 'bodegón' tradition. Meléndez elevates everyday fruit to a monumental scale, utilizing a dark, atmospheric background to emphasize the rich yellows of the pears and the deep, light-catching sheen of the grapes.
