Still Life with Dead Game, Fruits, and Vegetables in a Market
Frans Snyders, 1614
This overflowing Flemish market stall is enlivened by dead animals splayed on the table, fighting roosters, and a pickpocket. An early example of Frans Snyders’s combination of ornamental still-life elements with secondary figures, this scene might have adorned the dining room of an aristocratic collector. Snyders was the leading Flemish painter of monumental still lifes. He regularly collaborated with his fellow Antwerp artist Peter Paul Rubens.
