Still Life with a Basket between two Crocks is a 1826 oil by Peter De Wint, held at Ashmolean Museum.
This painting features a still life with a wicker basket placed between two large crocks. The basket is positioned centrally, with the two crocks on either side, creating a sense of balance and harmony. The background of the painting is dark and muted, which helps to draw attention to the main subjects. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting adds depth and dimension to the still life. The contrast between light and dark creates a sense of volume and texture, making the objects appear more realistic. The artist's use of light and shadow also adds a sense of drama and tension to the painting. The Ashmolean Museum is home to many beautiful works of art, including this still life by Peter De Wint.
Peter De Wint was a prolific English painter, mostly in landscape painting in oils and watercolour. A number of his pictures are in Tate Britain, the Victoria and Albert Museum and The Collection, Lincoln. He died in London.
