Description: | Signed: yes Description: This banquet piece, including lobster, chicken, fruit, silver, china- and glassware, points to the wealthy lifestyle of Dutch merchants. The table is partly covered with a dark velvet tablecloth and white cotton napkin. Light plays on different surfaces and organises forms and colours opulently. Van Beyeren repeats circular shapes of food and objects, which are seen from different angles, heights and at a varying distance from the picture plane. The artist at his easel can be seen in the high silver goblet. The composition recurs in the artist's work after 1655, with certain objects used in slightly different arrangements. | Subjects: | still life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Beyeren, Abraham van (Dutch painter, born 1620 or 1621, died 1690) Æ Previously attributed to Bloemaert, Adriaen (Dutch painter, 1609-1666) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8740... | Go to resource |
