Wineglass and a Bowl of Fruit, 1663. Creator: Willem Kalf (Dutch, 1619-1693)
Wineglass and a Bowl of Fruit, 1663. Priceless objects crowd the corner of a stone table. Pieces like the silver platter, delicate glasswares, thick rumpled carpet, and a Chinese porcelain bowl with peaches and an orange not only represented the great wealth and global reach of the Dutch trading empire, but were also a way for the artist to demonstrate his skill in recreating various surface textures. Kalf used different kinds of highlights to render reflections--quick dots, lines, and dabs of paint--creating sparkling, twinkling light effects that subtly distinguish objects from the surrounding shadows
