Title: Still Life of Flowers and Fish

School: Spanish, 20th century

Technique: Oil on canvas

This large-format work presents a still life of flowers and fish, a composition that combines floral exuberance with the still life of products from the sea and the land. To the left, a large crystal vase holds a bouquet of flowers in shades of pink and yellow, painted with loose and expressive brushstrokes, evoking the Impressionist tradition.

In the center, a basket overflowing with fruits, including grapes, pomegranates, and peaches, introduces a vibrant palette of warm colors that contrasts with the sobriety of the marine scene depicted on the right. There, a wicker basket contains a set of fresh fish, arranged in a naturalistic manner, conveying the feeling of a freshly made catch.

The background, with a dramatic sky and diffuse brushstrokes, adds depth to the scene, giving it an evocative and nostalgic air. The painting is part of the Spanish tradition of still life, in which the representation of the still life not only showcases the richness of the products but also suggests a symbolism about the fleeting nature of life.
