## Commentary

Still-Life with Fruit and Flowers c. 1670 Oil on canvas, 255 x 301 cm Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte, Naples Giuseppe Recco came from a family of painters that specialised in still-lifes. He started painting in the tradition of his father Giacomo and his uncle Giovanni Battista who still cultivated the close-up assemblages of objects, presented on a table. Giuseppe developed his bravura style in still-lifes of fish, later he turned increasingly to the decorative Baroque flower piece. This monumental still-life, placed in a landscape with rich vegetation, is a late work of the artist. &lt;P&gt; &lt;TABLE ALIGN=LEFT CELLPADDING=5 BORDER=1 WIDTH=320 BGCOLOR=&#34;\#99CCCC&#34;&gt; &lt;TR VALIGN=MIDDLE&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;IMG SRC=&#34;/support/gif/listen.gif&#34; BORDER=0 VALIGN=MIDDLE&gt; Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 7 minutes\):&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A HREF=&#34;\#&#34; onClick=&#34;w=window.open \(&#39;/music1/19\_cent/tchaikovsky\_nutcracker\_waltz.html&#39;, &#39;newWin&#39;, &#39;scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350&#39;\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true&#34;&gt;&lt;B&gt;Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker, ballet suite, op. 71, Waltz of the Flowers&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;
