EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite still life painting by Per Hillestrom, titled "Still Life with Ham on a Pewter Dish, a Faience Set and a Bowl of Gooseberries and Red Currants," transports us back in time to the mid-18th to early 19th century. The rich, warm colors and intricate details of the artwork invite us to explore the bountiful table spread before us. At the center of the composition, a succulent ham rests elegantly on a pewter dish, its golden crust glistening under the soft light. The ham is accompanied by a set of faience plates and bowls, their vibrant blue and white patterns adding a playful contrast to the earthy tones of the ham and pewter. A loaf of fresh bread, sliced open and ready to be spread with butter, sits nearby, its crust still golden and crisp. To the left, a bowl brimming with ripe, ruby-red gooseberries and deep-purple red currants catches the eye, their sweet and tart flavors a perfect complement to the savory ham. A pair of knives, their blades gleaming, are poised and ready to be used, adding a sense of anticipation to the scene. The painting's meticulous attention to detail, from the individual gooseberries and currants to the intricate patterns on the faience ware, speaks to the artist's mastery of his craft. Per Hillestrom's use of oil on canvas creates a sense of depth and texture, making us feel as if we could reach out and touch the ham or pluck a gooseberry from the bowl. This stunning still life is not only a feast for the eyes, but a testament to the beauty and richness of the past.
