History
A still life in oil on canvas, inspired by the Flemish tradition, where meticulous realism and attention to detail blend with a composition rich in life and symbolism. At the centre of the scene, an ornate vase filled with flowers of various species in vibrant colours blooming in an explosion of light and beauty. Next to it, a variety of juicy fruit: bunches of golden grapes, apricots, blackberries and blueberries. In the background, in the distance, a Tuscan Renaissance village, whose architecture stands out gently in the hilly landscape and evokes the serene and poetic atmosphere of times past. The scene, illuminated by a golden light, plays with the reflections on the glass and fruit surfaces, giving the work a sense of depth and a touch of eternity.
