For the creation of this tile I took inspiration from a gouache of XVII-century painter Giovanna Garzoni. Just in that period, still-life painting became a very popular genre. Earlier painting was affected by an anthropocentric philosophical conception, whereby non-human subjects (whether they may be animals, plants or mere things) appeared only on the margins of the paintings.

The decline of this ideology was due to various factors such as scientific discoveries, the secularization of society and the triumph of the bourgeoisie. The latter wanted to show its opulence through the display of its goods. In this context we should see the flourishing of paintings that showed very realistic, detailed and luxuriant still-lifes, such as to arouse in the spectator the desire to grab the fruits to eat them. Giovanna Garzoni was one of the main interpreters of this trend.
