Andrea Benedetti (Parma or Modena?, c. 1615 – c. 1660) Attributed – Still Life with Meat, Lemon, and Grapes Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 130 × 92 cm; framed: 145 × 105 cm. An important still life with a distinctly Lombard character, constructed through a rich yet balanced composition in which various foods and objects are arranged on a table: fruits, bread, oysters, lemons, wine, and a prominent ham—an iconographic element uncommon in this genre and one of remarkable visual presence. The work stands out for its realistic rendering of surfaces and textures, with particular attention to reflections, the materiality of the food, and the play of light. The composition reflects a sensibility characteristic of the 17th-century Lombard tradition, where direct observation of everyday objects is combined with a restrained and carefully calibrated arrangement. Andrea Benedetti worked in the Lombardy region and is known for still lifes characterized by striking descriptive realism, subdued lighting, and recurring motifs. Provenance: an important Lombard residence. Lot stored in an international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-Community shipment: no import duties apply within the EU. An export permit from the country of origin may be required.
