Jan Davidsz de Heem

A Table of Desserts

1640
Currently on display at the Louvre

Jan Davidsz de Heem is a very skilled Dutch painter. Most of his art consists of still-life. He enjoys painting of plants and fruit. This painting shows lots of texture on the food, plants, and bowls. I like the way that the artist uses so much detail. Also, the artist uses fantastic color, escpecially on the table. If you notice in the back of the painting, there is a counter that looks very realistic because of the use of value. To find some more of Jan Davidsz de Heem paintings CLICK HERE!
