“Still Life With Birds And Fruit, And A Cat” by Frans Snyders, Antwerp 1579 – 1657
I was in the mood to look at some works by old Flemish painters today. I think that this one, by Frans Snyders, is my favorite at this point - an epitome of ripe and mellow autumn. Note the cat on the right! I also made an Etsy Treasury today that reflects the same mood, even if the color match is not perfect. Still, the same colors, rich but subdued, and the poetry of an overgrown garden full of last autumn roses and overripe fruit. You can see the full version with active links here.

It is a bit hot in Uzbekistan, too, but not that bad already. Wishing you a wonderful autumn!
DeleteI love the changing seasons, and summer into fall is my favorite. This painting, and your treasury really capture fall!
