Flowers and fruit, Jean-Baptiste Robie
A stunning tour de force of subtle color, texture, light and dark by the Belgian still life painter.
On Google Art Project, high-resolution downloadable file on Wikimedia Commons; original is in the Art Gallery of New South Wales and measures roughly 64×54 inches (164x137cm).
As is often the case, the museum’s reproduction and that on the Google Art Project don’t quite agree. The Google image seems too warm and saturated; the museum’s version looks crisp but cold in comparison, particularly in the color of the metal.
Having never see one of Robie’s originals, I’ve taken a best guess here and color corrected my copy of the Google file to somewhere in-between.

Beautiful!
The design of this still life is superb..the composition of light, shadow and the arrangement of objects really lead your eye around the space.
