Pamono Still Life with Pears, Oil on Canvas, Framed> Old Masters

Image showing pears. Beautiful still life, painted in a realistic way. The author was inspired by the classics of Dutch baroque painting, but due to the simple composition and visible texture, the painting is also very modern.

The presented image is a beautiful study of the fruit. Pears arranged in a row but in a different configuration, some slightly tilted, others lying. Each fruit is shaped differently. The author tried to show the pear on all sides. The admiration for the detail and beauty of ordinary objects is visible here. The colors of the fruit, based on yellows and greens, are also enriched with a light glow and a kind of blush, which gives the whole a more realistic character. The whole beautifully harmonizes with the mint background.

The painting is framed in a matched passe-partout and a rustic, fluted frame.

Still life is a subject not usually popular in Dutch art, which was related to the transformations of the social structure – the increase in the number and power of the bourgeoisie and religious morality. From then on, the houses began to be filled with depictions of the world around man, not forbidden religious scenes. In the still life of the Netherlands, the highest mastery was achieved, among others, by Jan Dawidsz de Heem and Pieter Claesz.
