Description: | Signed: yes Description: A basket with pears and grapes appears on a table in this still-life painting which was signed by Gillis Gillisz. de Berch. Active in Delft between 1600 and 1669, Berch was influenced by Balthasar van der Ast, from whom he adopted his characteristic softness of outline and restricted palette. In this still life of fruit, the illusion of space is created by means of gradations of light and shade, or chiaroscuro. | Subjects: | still life (fruit) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Berch, Gillis Gillisz. de (Dutch painter and draftsman, ca.1600-1669) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8989... | Go to resource |
