Baroque still life after Martinus Nellius The 17th century brought the Netherlands unexpected economic and cultural prosperity. Thanks to favourable conditions, the 17th century brought the Netherlands an unprecedented economic and cultural boom - it went down in history as the so-called "Golden Age of the Netherlands", a prosperous economy brought the young republic widespread prosperity and abundance, and artistic production in particular took on unprecedented proportions, with over 300 painters and graphic artists working in Antwerp at one point alongside 78 butchers and 169 bakers, The new self-image of the wealthy Protestant bourgeoisie demanded new pictorial themes that were able to represent the wealth and lifestyle of this broad class, resulting in magnificent table still lifes that displayed valuable tableware, exotic animals and fruit alongside an abundance of fine foods, among other subjects, Today's famous masters such as Frans Snyders, Willem Kalf, Abraham van Beijeren, Cornelis de Heem and Willem Claeszoon Heda competed for the public's favour; the present motif probably originates from the circle of Martinus Nellius (1621-1716), who artfully layered his arrangements in front of the viewer's eyes against a dark background; next to the central - almost obligatory - forest glass roaster with a berry stem, there is a lobster, oysters, grapes, a bowl of cherries, figs, pomegranates, peaches and skilfully peeled lemons. Some of the objects depicted can also be found in Nellius's secured works, for example the bowl of cherries with other fillings can be found in various paintings by the artist, but the most characteristic feature is the lemon peel hanging out of the wine glass, which the painter usually depicts as here or with an attached lemon in the centre. placed in the Roman with an attached lemon, effective baroque still life painting, oil on coarse canvas, 17th century, indistinctly monogrammed probably "F. v.
