Still Life with Lobster, Fruit, and Roses is a 1645 oil by Jan van den Hecke, a Dutch Golden Age work, depicting Fruit, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest.
This painting depicts a lavish still life arrangement on a dark wooden table. The central focus is a vibrant red lobster, accompanied by a blue and white plate and a few oysters. To the left, a collection of lemons, grapes, and peaches is arranged on a silver platter. A vase of pink roses adds a pop of color behind the lobster. The tablecloth features an intricate red and gold pattern, while the background is a somber, dark landscape. A closer look reveals the artist's attention to detail, with the lobster's texture and the fruit's subtle variations in color and shape. The overall atmosphere is one of opulence and abundance.
