About the piece
Painted around 1630 by Jacques Linard, this oil painting captures the fascinating variety of natural forms found in sea shells and coral. The dramatic contrast between the dark background and the luminous, patterned surfaces of the specimens creates a timeless composition that reflects the 'cabinet of curiosities' tradition of the French Baroque era.
