Still Life with Fruit — Pieter Gallis

Pieter Gallis. Painted 1673.

The types of fruit depicted here had been cultivated for thousands of years before they became known in the Netherlands. Grapes originated in Italy and Spain; peaches came from China; and melons from Persia, Southern Egypt, or India. Thanks to the global trade, newly introduced fruit made its way into the kitchens of affluent North European citizens, as well as into their still-life paintings.
