Still Life with a Nautilus Cup
Artist: Gerrit Willemsz. Heda (Dutch, About 1624 - 1649)
Original Dimensions: 33 1/4" x 39 1/8"
Location: National Gallery of Art, London
About Artwork: (Probably about 1645) "This gloriously cluttered picture seems to suggest the aftermath of a rich banquet that’s gone a little too far. Objects sit on the table at a perilous angle or materialise from nowhere, but the one that takes centre stage is secure. It’s called a nautilus cup and is meant to impress. It’s made from a real nautilus shell, at the time a rare and costly item. A feast should have food, and Heda places a huge fish on a pewter plate. But it’s on the edge of the table, easily knocked off; the glasses next to it also tip sideways. Heda doesn't necessarily want to give a feeling of instability. He may have used this method to show skill at projecting objects into space towards us. The fish, salt and nautilus all have a connection to the sea – perhaps the picture was a commission from a guild of merchants who dealt in such goods." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
