Still Life with a Gilt Cup, 1635

Your taste…

An overturned silver tazza, a half-peeled lemon, oysters and a glass of wine on a crumpled cloth. A quiet display of skill in reflection and texture, and a reminder that luxury, like a meal, is soon over.

Look closer

Find the window reflected in the glass and the metal: a single light source unifies the whole table.
