Riista-asetelma is an unspecified by Franz Werner von Tamm, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows dead birds and game piled on a dark ground. There are pomegranates, pears, and a half-cut pomegranate revealing red seeds. The background is a dim, cloudy sky with a faint village or trees in the distance. The brushwork is thick in spots, making the textures of the feathers and fruit stand out. The lighting is dramatic, with shadows and highlights creating a strong contrast. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting trick works.
Franz Werner von Tamm painted still lifes packed with fruit, game, and flowers, rooted in the lavish tastes of 17th‑century German courts.
