XVII-XVIII century.
70,5 x 100,5 cm (without frame) - 85 x 115 cm (with frame).
Neapolitan painter (17th-18th century) – Still life with watermelon, pumpkin, peaches, grapes and copper basin.
70,5 x 100,5 cm (without frame) – 85 x 115 cm (with frame).
Oil on canvas, in a carved, lacquered and gilded wooden frame.
The composition unfolds on two overlapping levels: on the upper shelf, a blue majolica plate supports a sliced watermelon flanked by flowers; in the center stands a burnished copper basin; on the right, a pumpkin, bunches of dark grapes, and peaches complete the ensemble. In the background, an architectural backdrop with columns and a twilight sky lends depth to the scene. The work is in the tradition of late-17th-century Neapolitan still lifes, characterized by warm colors, strong chiaroscuro contrasts, and a careful rendering of textures.
