Still Life with Oysters, a Silver Tazza, and Glassware  1635

by Willem Claeszoon Heda

With his Haarlem colleague Pieter Claesz, Heda was one of the leading painters of the so-called monochrome banquet piece in the Netherlands. In this panel of 1635 he shows off his virtuoso ability to describe reflections and arrange elliptical shapes. (Source: The Metropolitan Museum of Art)
