## Commentary

The present still-life, painted with exquisite naturalism, &lt;a onclick=&#34;return OpenOther\(&#39;/html/f/figino/peaches.html&#39;\)&#34; href=&#34;/html/f/figino/peaches.html&#34;&gt;follows a composition&lt;/a&gt; by the Milanese artist, Giovanni Ambrogio Figino. It is possible that Nuvolone had seen &lt;a onclick=&#34;return OpenOther\(&#39;/html/c/caravagg/02/14basket.html&#39;\)&#34; href=&#34;/html/c/caravagg/02/14basket.html&#34;&gt;Caravaggio&#39;s Basket of Fruit,&lt;/a&gt; along with Figino&#39;s, and was influenced by their intense realism. While Figino can be considered a forerunner in fruit-still-life painting, it was Panfilo Nuvolone, alongside Fede Galizia and Osias Beert, who pioneered the genre, both in Italy and throughout Europe.
