still life....



ok, so my art lectures have reached northern european genre paintings, which include both landscapes and still lifes (still lives?)......i had forgotten just how much i enjoy the still life......especially those with the peeled lemon and the wine glass.....both indications that the artist is very skilled....the still life pictured is by Willem Kalf painted in 1653......possibly for a guild on commission, as the horn is a guild symbol.....
