Antique Flemish Oil Painting On Canvas Period 18th Century.

The 18th century was the golden age of still life, particularly in Northern Europe (but also in Italy and Spain).

There was considerable demand for this type of painting, mostly from a new audience of buyers of bourgeois extraction.

The great increase in demand encouraged a process of specialization, with the identification of 'subgenres' linked to the predominant content of the paintings and with specific names.

Artists, therefore, specialized in the creation of still lifes that had food as their theme, or flowers, or musical instruments and other objects that constituted a particular type of still life, called vanitas (a theme, moreover, to which still lifes in general often allude).

Our work depicting a still life with fruit with a silver jug ​​in the center.

In the work, some technical characteristics can be noted, including the vast range of colors that are inserted in the play of transparency, creating chiaroscuro and reflections.

The artist contrasts the shadowy world of the time with brightness and chromatic innovations, alternating with stylistic and chromatic virtuosity and interweaving.
