EDITORS COMMENTS
This still life painting, titled "Still Life with a Basket of Fruit and a Bunch of Asparagus" was created in 1630 by the talented artist Louise Moillon. At just 20 years old, Moillon demonstrated remarkable skill and attention to detail in this exquisite piece. The composition showcases an assortment of vibrant fruits and vegetables meticulously arranged within a rustic basket. The rich colors and textures bring the scene to life, evoking a sense of abundance and freshness. Plump cherries, juicy peaches, luscious grapes, crisp asparagus spears, plums, peas, broad beans - each element is rendered with precision and realism. Moillon's mastery lies not only in her ability to capture the physical attributes of these natural objects but also in her talent for creating depth and dimension on the flat surface of an oil painting. The play of light and shadow adds further complexity to the arrangement. As we gaze upon this artwork from centuries past, we are transported back to 17th-century France. It serves as a testament to Moillon's artistic prowess while providing us with a glimpse into the country's culinary heritage during that time. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago gallery among other masterpieces from around Europe, this painting stands as a testament to Moillon's enduring legacy as one of history's most accomplished still-life painters.
