Still Life with Cockleshells and Blue Anemones is a 1650 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a dark background with a few things lit up: two open cockleshells, some yellow flowers, and a small red cup. The shells sit on a green leaf, while the flowers and cup are placed near them. The lighting makes the shells and flowers stand out against the dark space. The way the light hits the shells and flowers makes them look almost real. The artist used shadows to create depth, making parts of the painting look closer or farther away. Look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this lighting trick works.
