About the piece

Attributed to the 17th-century artist Tommaso Realfonso, known as 'Masillo', this painting is a masterful example of the Neapolitan still life tradition. The work features a luxurious array of pomegranates, figs, and grapes that emerge from a deep, velvety background, their vibrant colors and varying textures highlighted by a dramatic light source typical of the Baroque era.
