Unfortunately, not the best reproduction in either case, but the best I could find for such a wonderful painting by the 16th/17th century German still life master.

Original is in the State Gallery in the Castle Johannisburg, Munich (no image).

  1. These pictures make me feel how much in common we have with those who lived centuries ago in certain aspects of our life. The simple experience of eating a fried egg with bread. All the detail and nuance of the texture and visual of the experience. The specific way a fried egg slices. The freshness of bread. The way a fried egg reflects light. The same for a man having breakfast so long ago as it would be today.

    What material is that semi-transparent knife blade?
