Master of fruits on inclined planes, Still life of fruit outdoors - Rome 1660 – 1670
Description:
Master of fruits on inclined planes,
Still life of fruit outdoors
Rome 1660 – 1670
Oil painting on canvas 97 x 134 cm
Frame 123 x 158 cm
Outdoors, under a cascade of grape bunches and resting on three rock ledges, a rich still life is depicted.
Peaches, pears, apples, cherries, grapes, plums, figs and a melon are arranged with balance and taste to form a pleasant composition.
The elegant still life is the work of a Roman artist datable to the 1660s/1670s.
Some other works by our artist are known, always of great quality, with fruits displayed on rocky ledges.
While awaiting the exact biographical details and in order to clearly identify the author without any confusion, the pseudonym "Master of fruits on inclined planes" could be coined for him.
