    17th-Century Italian School

    Still Life With Fruit & Vegetables

    This charming 17th-century still life painting depicts an abundant basket of fruit and vegetables including a lemon, tomatoes, corn and oranges.

    The basket is positioned atop a ledge with a red silk tablecloth and appears to be outside - with a glimpse of a landscape behind it.

    Stylistically, the painting is tricky to place as it fits alongside other 17th-century still lifes from Italy and Flanders. The colouring feels more akin to some Flemish painters yet the composition sits closer to Italian stills. There’s also a great deal of cross over. Similar works have been attributed to the circle of Antwerp painter Joris van Son (1623-1667).

    Either way, it's a beautiful piece and so easy to hang in a cottage or country home interior.

    Conservation & History

    We care profoundly about our role as custodians and every piece in the collection has been assessed by our conservator. When required, we undertake professional restoration carefully using reversible techniques and adopt a light touch to retain the aged charm of each work. We also often restore frames rather than replace them as many are original and selected by the artists themselves.
