Still Life with Four Quinces

A Still Life in the tradition Dutch and Flemish Masters’ style symbolising the transition from Summer to Autumn. Dried flowers from high summer are arranged with the last of the roses (renowned for representing beauty and love) and cosmos that are adding colour to a fading garden. The lavender was so popular with the bees and butterflies but now spent although still smelling gorgeous. Around the base of the vase is a mixture of flowering ivy and oak leaves with their acorns. Ivy is often associated with fidelity and even eternal life. The English Oak is the symbol of strength and durability while its fruit, the acorn, symbolises immortality. Plums and greengages, the last of the English stone fruits, are nestled amongst apples and pears representing the transition from summer to autumn fruits. Souvenirs from summer walks, comprising white stones, shells and sea glass collected from the beach are memories of long, bright days.

Still Life with fruits 2

Based on the traditional Dutch Masters’ still lifes of the 17th and 18th centuries, this is a modern interpretation. Persimmons, quinces, figs and passion fruits are all associated with love, persistence, desire and in the case of quinces, consistency. Here they are shown against a cool backdrop with polished silver and bright crystal as a foil to their intense colours.
