Still Life with Fish and Crustaceans on a Table

"Still Life with Fish and Crustaceans on a Table" is a work by Abraham van Beyeren. It is listed in the Still Life collection. The image is in landscape orientation. Still Life, a short history: Still life, the arrangement of flowers, fruit, tableware, and other objects, became a distinct genre in the Netherlands and Spain in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Later artists, including Cézanne, Matisse, and Picasso, used humble still-life subjects to test ideas about space and form.
