Still Life with Fruit and Birds is a 1663 unspecified by Unknown, depicting Food, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a dark table piled with food. There’s a basket of red fruit, a plump lobster, a skinned bird, and scattered veggies like onions and squash. A shiny metal pitcher sits near a dead fish and a few peaches. The background is almost black, making the colors pop. The artist played with light and shadow to make the food look real and almost touchable. The way they used darks and lights to create depth is a classic trick. Look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this technique works in other art.
