Turkey Pie with Sweet Potato Mash
Pieter Claesz, (1597 -1661), was a Dutch painter who achieved a striking simplicity and atmospheric quality in still-life representations. Avoiding the crowded compositions and strong local colouring of the Mannerist tradition, he concentrated on the monochrome “breakfast piece,” the depiction of a simple meal set near the corner of a table. The play of light on the characteristic objects—a glass of wine, a knife, a metal plate with fish or bread, and a bowl of berries—creates a rich effect while preserving the solidity of the forms. Claesz’s increasingly decorative work after 1640 includes lavish still-life displays such as the one above.
