Still Life with a Turkey Pie

The Flemish painter Pieter Claesz was just one of many artists who emigrated to the Northern Netherlands in the beginning of the 17th century. This table abounds with luxurious products, including Asian objects. Especially eye-catching are the porcelain plate and the nautilus shell. Even in unexpected objects, the presence of Asia is implicit—for instance in savory pies that contain ingredients such as cinnamon, mace, cloves, and ginger. The gleaming wine jug is a masterpiece of reflection. In the body of the jug we see not only a window and part of the laid table, but also the shadowy figure of the painter behind his easel.
