Where is it written that a still life must only portray fruit?
Giacomo Ceruti, a Milanese late-Baroque artist, must have thought this while painting his Bread and Pitcher (around 1730).
The silver plate makes us understand that it was a banquet of wealthy people.
Above the plate, what looks to me like a bauletto (literally “little trunk”), typical bread from the city of Mantua.
As a side dish, a tasty-looking salami, despite being sadly low in fat.
And then: some walnuts, a spatula knife, a common tavern glass, and a terracotta pitcher, presumably containing red wine.
Which, with bread, salami and walnuts, is something to die for…
Oh, I almost forgot: I can provide you with INOX BIM Cabinets for seasoning cured meats.
