Monogrammist BVDA

Monogrammist BVDA is a Dutch Golden Age artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Rijksmuseum.

This 17th-century Dutch still-life artist signed works only with the monogram BVDA. They specialized in quietly lit tables where fish lie head-to-tail, their silver scales catching the same soft light that touches a pewter plate and a few lemons. The knife’s edge glints just above a half-peeled lemon, its pith curling like a question mark.

If you like the no-nonsense glow of everyday objects, tap into Still Life with Fish to see the knife and lemon up close.
