A beautiful and vibrant Roman school still life of pomegranates, grapes, figs and other fruit, set in a landscape. This richly colored oil on canvas was painted in the early 18th century by an artist from the circle of Maximlian Pfeiler and depicts nature''s bountiful fruits stacked on a rocky outcrop.
 
This beautiful work is remarkable both for its delicious details and for its excellent state of preservation. A small lizard is perched on a ledge and in the background, fluttering clouds, a still vibrant sky.
 
Maximilian Pfeiler (1656 - 1746) Born in 1656, Pfeiler was a northern painter active in Rome between the 17th and 18th centuries. He was a pupil of Christian Berentz and was a renowned specialist in still life. He collaborated with Francesco Trevisani and Michele Rocca.
 
Pfeiler was then successful enough to carve out a prominent role for himself in the bustling Roman art scene of the first decades of the 18th century. He is mentioned by biographer Lione Pascoli, who describes him as the most talented student of Christian Berentz.
 
This work is in an excellent state of preservation and is ready to hang and enjoy in an antique gilt wood frame.
