Still Life with Fruit is a 1703 oil by Jan Mortel, a Dutch Golden Age work, depicting Fruit, held at Nationalmuseum.
This painting shows a still life of fruit, with a variety of fruits scattered across the surface. The fruits are depicted in different sizes and shapes, with some cut open to reveal their insides. The background is dark, which helps to highlight the colors and textures of the fruits. In the foreground, there are several fruits that appear to be ripe and ready to eat. The artist has used a range of colors to depict the different fruits, from the deep reds and purples of the grapes to the bright yellows and oranges of the lemons. The overall effect is one of abundance and plenty. The painting is held at the Nationalmuseum, where you can see more works by Jan Mortel.
Jan Mortel (baptized 16 October 1652 – 15 October 1719) was a Dutch Golden Age flower painter.
