About the piece

Painted in 1761, Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin’s 'The Basket of Wild Strawberries' is a masterpiece of the French Enlightenment. The composition balances the intense red of the berries with the delicate transparency of a water glass and the soft texture of carnations, all unified by a masterful play of soft light and earthy tones.
