Description: | The ornamental array of fruit and flowers in the foreground and the landscape at dusk in the background recall the style of the seventeenth-century Roman school. The combination of Neapolitan and Netherlandish influences resulted in lavish displays of nature's products, depicted with contrasting light and a bright palette. The white flowers lying in the foreground and the inclusion of a dead partridge on the right can be related to the still-life compositions of Pietro Navarra, who worked in Rome in the last decades of the seventeenth century. | Subjects: | still life (fruit flowers); landscape; animal (partridge) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Italian (Roman) School Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8962... | Go to resource |
