Technique: Oil on canvas.
Gaspare Lopez , the Baroque painter known as "Gaspare dei Fiori," was an Italian painter active in Naples and later in Rome and Florence, known for his important still lifes of flowers and fruit. Our painting reflects Lopez's typical theme, specializing in compositions dominated by cascading blooms and set outdoors amidst architectural and natural elements: rocks, fountains, porticoes, columns, and vases. The abundance of floral decoration, the particularly elaborate setting, and the theatrical staging are characteristic of the Baroque period.
