oil on canvas depicting a spectacular still life of fruits. Made during the 20th century, following baroque models. Signed in the lower right corner “escuela sevillana, j. Hernández”.
it presents the characteristic style of the genre to which it corresponds, realistic and meticulous, which little by little gained weight in the history of art. The great artist caravaggio (1573-1610) was one of the first artists to represent still lifes consciously as a pictorial work, but there were many who used him at some point in their career. With origins in antiquity and very popular in western art since the 17th century, the still life gives the artist more compositional freedom than other pictorial genres such as landscape or portraits. Before 1700, they often contained religious and allegorical symbolism in relation to the objects they represented.
also known as still lifes, they usually present animals, flowers, fruits, foods, plants\. Their development is part of the context of growing appreciation of painting and the explosion of interest in naturalism and imitation of nature that began to develop. At the end of the previous century.
the work, as is common in its genre, stands out for the sobriety of its composition and the dark interest reflected in the dark background, wrapped in a shadow from which the fruits seem to emerge, resting on the surface of a wooden board or table. . As for the composition, on the right half there is a wine jug covered with a white cloth and, on the left, a wicker basket overflowing with apples and grapes, which fall over the surface of the table.
