Italian school; early 18th century."Still life".Oil on canvas. Re-coloured.It presents restorations.Measurements: 88 x 136 cm; 111 x 158 cm (frame).Still life magnificently worked, with detail and attention to the qualities. In spite of the profusion of the elements that make up the composition, the still life takes place in an interior, which is intuited due to the furniture that forms part of the scene, and that in the last plane a curtain can be appreciated, heir of the baroque painting. The elements that make up the still life are placed in the foreground, in a typically classical composition that is at the same time dynamic despite the relatively simple structure of the space. The dynamism is enhanced by the use of bright, metallic colours, such as the oranges of the fruit or the gold of the upholstery of the curtain. Colours that in turn cause a great contrast with the rest of the tonality of the canvas.As we have already mentioned, the work follows the precepts of the Italian school, with reminiscences of the Neapolitan school, although the tone is softer and avoids a marked tenebrist mood. Even so, the artist went a step further, introducing a landscape painting as part of the composition. This element shows us the artist's skill and his reaffirmation as an artist who does not only work in a single genre. Furthermore, the blue sky breaks with the rest of the tones of the work and brings the viewer into the image, capturing his attention, as if it were a window onto the outside world. Thus, we can appreciate the intelligent play that the artist creates with regard to the veracity of the painting.
