More about this artwork

Dive into the opulent and vibrant world of Frans Snyders with the "Larder Still Life," a fascinating portrayal of abundance, painted circa 1616 to 1625. This exceptional artwork offers viewers a glimpse into the luxurious and bountiful kitchens of the 17th century.In the forefront, the painting showcases an array of game and seafood, celebrating both the thrill of the hunt and the riches of the sea. A large boar, presented head-first to the viewer, dominates the scene with its detailed textural portrayal that highlights Snyders’ mastery over animal forms. Complementing the boar is a hare, splayed out on a white linen cloth, which further underscores the theme of hunting prowess.Adjacent to these are an assortment of fruits and vegetables, meticulously arranged to display an abundance that was likely reserved for the tables of the wealthy and powerful during Snyders' era. The realism of the grapes, apples, and peaches, with their inviting textures and colors, contrasts deeply with the muted tones of the animals, enticing the viewer to marvel at the variety of textures and shades employed.The background offers an equally compelling narrative. A shelf holds elegant dishes and a decorative urn, hinting at the refined tastes of the owner of such a larder. A luscious bouquet of flowers in a vase, glowing softly in a dimly lit recess, adds a touch of delicacy and contrast to the otherwise dense composition of the foreground.

Frans Snyders or Frans Snijders (11 November 1579, Antwerp – 19 August 1657, Antwerp) was a Flemish painter of animals, hunting scenes, market scenes, and still lifes. He was one of the earliest specialist animaliers and he is credited with initiating a wide variety of new still-life and animal subjects in Antwerp. He was a regular collaborator with leading Antwerp painters such as Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony van Dyck, and Jacob Jordaens.
