EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century artwork, titled "Piece of Fruit," is a stunning oil on wood painting by the renowned Flemish artist Ottmar Elliger the Elder. Hailing from Flanders, Belgium, Elliger was a prominent figure in the Baroque era, known for his meticulous attention to detail and mastery of still life compositions. The painting showcases a luscious apple, its vibrant red skin glistening with a sheen of freshness, set against a rich, textured background. The apple's leaves, with their intricate veins and delicate hues, add depth and dimension to the piece. The tabletop on which the fruit rests is adorned with melons and other unidentified fruits, further emphasizing the abundance and richness of nature. The painting's close-up perspective invites the viewer to examine the intricacies of the fruit's surface, from the tiny blemishes on the apple's skin to the individual hairs on the melon's rind. Elliger's use of oil painting techniques allows for the fruit to appear almost lifelike, inviting the viewer to reach out and touch its surface. This masterpiece is now a cherished part of the collection at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors with its beauty and historical significance. The painting serves as a testament to Elliger's skill as a painter and to the enduring allure of still life art, which continues to celebrate the natural world and the beauty of its simplest forms.
