# Still-Life [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [BERGOIJS, Claes]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 94 x 83 cm ## Commentary The picture shows a still-life with a roemer, a silver-gilt columbine cup, a jar, a porcelain dish with an orange and peaches, a bread roll, and a peeled lemon, on a table. Bergoijs main inspirer was Willem Kalf who spent a few years in Paris as a young artist. There, he encountered new tendencies in still-life painting and absorbed them in his own work. Kalf's style met with an eager following in Amsterdam already shortly after his arrival in that city; among the local artists who started to work in Kalf's style are Jurriaen van Streek and Christiaen Striep, to whom some paintings by Bergoijs was attributed until recently. ## Related artworks - [Still-Life with a Flask]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
