XOS5883935 Still-Life with Crayfish, Oysters, and Fruit, late 1600s or early 1700s (oil on canvas) by Heem, Cornelis de (1631-95); 61x74 cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: painting by Cornelis de Heem (Flemish, 1631-1695)
The porcelain bowl in this painting most likely came from China. Political turbulence in China effectively eliminated ceramic imports to the West by the 1640s, so the bowl would have been considered at least as valuable as the gold object on the table.)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite still-life painting by Cornelis de Heem captures the opulence and luxury of the late 17th century. The composition is rich with symbolism and hidden meanings, as was typical of Baroque art during this period.
The artist meticulously rendered every detail, from the delicate porcelain bowl believed to have come all the way from China to the succulent crayfish and oysters displayed on the table. These exotic delicacies would have been considered a sign of wealth and sophistication in de Heem's time.
The vibrant colors of the fruit - grapes, currants, and other assorted fruits - add a sense of abundance and decadence to the scene. The play of light and shadow further enhances the realism of this masterful work.
In a time when political turmoil disrupted trade routes, objects like the Chinese porcelain bowl would have been highly prized for their rarity and craftsmanship. De Heem skillfully juxtaposes these luxurious items with everyday elements like wine glasses to create a harmonious balance in his composition.
This painting serves as a window into an era where art was not just decorative but also carried layers of meaning that reflected societal values and aspirations. It is a testament to de Heem's skill as an artist and his ability to capture beauty in even the most mundane objects.
