# Vegetable Still-Life [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [SNYDERS, Frans]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 144 x 157 cm ## Commentary Vegetable Still-Life c. 1600 Oil on canvas, 144 x 157 cm Staatliche Kunsthalle, Karlsruhe This still-life from the collection of Margrave Hermann von Baden-Baden, which has - probably correctly - been ascribed to Frans Snyders, may have belonged to Rubens at one time. It is one of the few examples of early 17th-century Flemish paintings which do not show market or kitchen scenes but the agricultural sphere of the production itself. However, it is worth noting that the farmer's labour, as a source of the new wealth, has been completely delegated to the background \(small section in the top right corner\). ## Related artworks - [Boar Hunt]() - [Concert of Birds]() - [Concert of Birds]() - [Concert of Birds]() - [Cook with Food]() - [Fish Stall]() - [Fish Stall]() - [Fishmonger's]() - [Fruit and Vegetable Stall \(detail\)]() - [Fruit and Vegetable Stall]() - [Fruit Stall]() - [Fruit Stall]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
