About the piece

Painted around 1650, this 'pronkstilleven' (sumptuous still life) by Jan Davidsz. de Heem showcases the height of Dutch Golden Age artistry. The composition balances an abundance of glowing grapes, sliced pomegranates, and peaches against a deep, moody backdrop, illuminated by a soft, directional light that highlights the varied textures of fruit, glass, and velvet.
