Pair of still lifes, artist active in the Cremona area, first half of the 17th century

Measures:

75x112 cm in a 99.5x136.5 frame

75x112 cm in a 99.5x136.5 frame


Above the neutral surfaces, a series of fruits, mushrooms and vegetables are placed with refined attention, watched over by two little birds.

In the first composition: ceramic tray filled with pears, basket of cherries, asparagus, artichoke, peas, citrus fruits and a sparrow. In coeval frame

In the second: pomegranates, thistles, grapes, apples, citrus fruits, figs, mushrooms, a basket of chestnuts and a sparrow. In coeval frame


These captivating compositions were the result of imagination, regulated however by a precise illustrative rigour.

The fruits and vegetables were ordered in small piles or collected in plates and small baskets, generating balanced compositions with a very pleasant effect.

The excellent state of conservation and the coeval frames make this pair of paintings a particularly interesting find for a fully conscious and mature collector capable of appreciating their fascinating archaism.
