# Still-Life with Fruit and Roses [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [SPADINO, Bartolomeo]() - Date: 1701-1750 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 69 x 94 cm ## Commentary The few known works by Bartolomeo contain the same repertoire, gleaming with colour and liveliness: an assortment of fruits and roses on branches bristling with thorns, mingled together on the ground or on a rough-hewn rocky ledge. A typical element is the use of opposite colours on the same fruit: greens or violets with reds, and ubiquitous touches of white that make those in the foreground sparkle. Vine branches serve as a backdrop to this front-stage exhibition of fruit, while the background has a few glimpses of a dark blue sky. ## Related artworks - [Still-Life]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
