Associate Curator Maggie Bell highlights the spectacular "Still Life with Fruits and Vegetables"(1625–35) by the 17th-century Flemish artist, Frans Snyders, which engages a range of themes relating to the growing, selling and making of food. This still life celebrates the comfort of plentiful fruits and vegetables available to the wealthy, while making veiled reference to the land and labor that produced such abundance. This video is part of a series that highlights works of art related to the exhibition "All Consuming: Art and the Essence of Food."
This video was produced in conjunction with the exhibition, “All Consuming: Art and the Essence of Food," on view April 14–August 14, 2023.
