Amidst the tranquil world of still life painting, a glass jug holds a captivating allure. From Breton fishermen's tables to the elegant settings of Yolande Delasser's works, these vessels have graced canvases since the 19th century. In "Still Life with Roses" (1889) and "Still Life of Carnations," the jugs stand proudly, their transparent bodies reflecting the vibrant colors of their surroundings. Delasser's jugs from the 1930s and 1940s, with their simple yet elegant designs, invite us to imagine the stories they hold. A red drink, served in two glasses with slices of lemon, sits atop a jug in a high angle view, while a Chinese vase, fallen and covered in a red cloth, shares the table with a peeled satsuma at the bottom of a jug of water and a whole lemon floating above. Even in ancient Roman frescoes, the symbolism of peaches and a glass jug continues to resonate, their timeless beauty transcending generations.
