Still Life with Asparagus, Gooseberries and Strawberries

Juicy gooseberries, gleaming fresh asparagus, ripe strawberries. Delicate, firm, soft: the differences in texture are perfectly captured. Coorte’s exceptionally refined technique was forgotten for many years. But today he once again belongs among the best-loved still-life painters of the Dutch Golden Age. With a style all of his own: serene simplicity on a small scale.
