Still Life Of The Northern Italian School, Lombardy/veneto Area, 17th Century

Still Life of the Northern Italian School, Lombardy/Veneto area, 17th century, depicting a lavish still life with fish, shellfish, vegetables, and fruit, arranged on a wooden table.
The composition features a refined arrangement of foods typical of the Baroque painting tradition. The scene is set in a kitchen with a side window that illuminates the table, creating a strong chiaroscuro contrast.
The painting belongs to the typology of kitchen still lifes that were common in the 17th century between northern Italy and the Flemish area, characterized by a naturalistic rendering of the elements and a careful study of light derived from Caravaggio's naturalism.
The quality of the painting is distinguished by the textural rendering of the fish and shellfish, the reflections of light on the wet surfaces, and the scenic arrangement of the elements on the table.
The still life still has its original wooden frame of great charm, it has no re-lining and the patina can be appreciated even on the back of the canvas.
