Banquet Still Life by Adriaen van Utrecht (1599-1651/52) oil on canvas, 1644. The Fleming Adriaen van Utrecht here demonstrated that he could paint virtually anything, from costly tableware to glass, fruit, an enormous lobster on a Chinese plate, a cut-open pasty and much more. Given its striking low vantage point, this large painting was most likely meant to hang above a chimneypiece.
