Description: | This still life was previously ascribed to the Spanish school, but it is now thought to be by an artist from the circle of the Neapolitan painter Giuseppe Recco. The composition is reminiscent of the Spanish bodegón, a type of still life depicting humble foodstuffs and everyday objects. The combination of fish and kitchen utensils is characteristic of the Neapolitan school. The careful arrangement of horizontal and vertical lines is typical of Recco's paintings, although the handling lacks his intensity. Recco's fame reached other European courts and he was invited to work in Spain by Charles II. | Subjects: | pans) still life (fish vegetables | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Recco, Giuseppe (Italian painter, 1634-1695) Æ Attributed to circle of Previously attributed to Meléndez, Luis Egidio (Spanish painter, 1716-1780) Previously attributed to Spanish School Previously attributed to Velázquez, Diego (Spanish painter, 1599-1660) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9028... | Go to resource |
