Depth: 2'' 5cm
Oil on canvas depicting a strikingly realistic still life with two whole pomegranates and a third split open to reveal its vivid red seeds, resting on a stone ledge. In the background, clusters of purple grapes and golden vine leaves complete the composition, immersed in dramatic chiaroscuro reminiscent of Caravaggesque painting.
The treatment of light and texture highlights the contrast between the rough skin of the fruits, the shine of juicy seeds, and the softness of aged foliage. The rich palette of ochres, deep reds, and muted greens reflects the style of Baroque naturalism, particularly associated with the Neapolitan or Roman circles of the 17th century.
The carved giltwood frame, likely original, features stylized acanthus leaf motifs, enhancing the refined character of the piece.
