| Description |
English: Sumptuous still lifes were popular in the seventeenth century. Many were painted in Holland, but were subsequently spread to other countries. Just as in this arrangement, European elements were often mixed with exotic components. Here we see blackberries, raspberries, grapes, ears of wheat, acorns, hazelnuts, a pomegranate, and oysters. The exotic parts—an orange, a lemon, and a Chinese bowl—witness of the era’s contact with distant lands. We also catch a glimpse of a snail and a butterfly—motifs that are sometimes interpreted as symbols of death and decay. Svenska: Prunkande stilleben var omtyckta under 1600-talet. Många målades i Holland, men spreds därifrån till andra länder. Ofta blandades som här europeiska och exotiska inslag i arrangemangen. Här syns björnbär, hallon, vindruvor, veteax, ekollon, hasselnötter, granatäpple och ostron. De exotiska inslagen – apelsiner, en citron och en kinesisk skål – vittnar om tidens kontakter med fjärran länder. Här skymtar också en snigel och en fjäril – inslag som ibland tolkats som symboler för vissnande och död. |
