Breakfast with Ham, 1647
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Pieter Claesz is a captivating still life painting that offers a glimpse into the dining habits of the Dutch Golden Age. This exquisite artwork, housed in the prestigious State Hermitage collection in St Petersburg, transports us back to 17th-century Holland. The composition showcases an opulent spread laid out on a wooden table adorned with a pristine white tablecloth. A succulent ham takes center stage, its rich color and intricate carving skillfully captured by Claesz's masterful brushstrokes. Surrounding it are various delicacies: slices of bread, ripe peaches glistening with juiciness, and clusters of grapes tempting our taste buds. The attention to detail is remarkable; every object meticulously rendered down to the finest nuances. The play of light and shadow adds depth and realism to this sumptuous scene. A wine glass filled with ruby-red liquid stands proudly beside a bottle—a nod to indulgence and conviviality often associated with Dutch culture. Claesz's ability to capture textures is evident throughout— from the rough surface of the wooden table to the soft folds of the tablecloth draping elegantly over its edges. These details transport us not only visually but also emotionally, evoking sensations that transcend time. This masterpiece serves as a testament to Claesz's mastery as well as an enduring symbol of abundance and prosperity during Holland's golden age. It invites viewers into an intimate moment frozen in time—a feast for both eyes and imagination
