Still Life with Wine and Strawberries
This still life is by the 19th century French painter Henri Fantin-Latour. View more of Fantin-Latour’s paintings on the Art Renewal website.
Still Life with Peaches and Insects
This still life with peaches and insects was painted by German artist Georg Flegel. I don’t know if the insects are edible.
Painting: Water Glass and Jug
I like this Chardin still life of a water pitcher and garlic – Paleo staples. Chardin creates an atmospheric glow surrounding ordinary, everyday objects. For more Chardin, see the Art Renewal website.
Painting: Still Life with Oysters and Nuts, 1637
I found this incredibly detailed still life with oysters and nuts at the Art Renewal website. Be forewarned – if you love art, it is easy to lose an afternoon perusing the drawings and paintings in this huge online collection of both old and modern realist masters.
Painting: Freshwater Fish by Jacob Gillig,1684
Being an artist who loves romantic realist art, I thought I’d post an occasional beautiful food painting. This oil on panel painting of Freshwater Fish was made by Dutch Golden Age artist Jacob Gillig in 1684.
