Still-Life with a Basket of Fruit
by SNYDERS, Frans, Oil on oak, 99 x 156 cm
Snyders’s usually large canvases and panels are characterized by an abundance of birds, game, fruit, fish, meat and vegetables in a lively arrangement. The exact representation of the texture of feathers, fur and skin, as well as the luminous, powerful colouring in his later works are outstanding.
