Jean Baptiste Siméon Chardin - Still life with mortar, jug and copper cauldron

Museum Thyssen-Bornemisza, Jean-Baptiste Simeon Chardin, Bodegón con almirez, cántaro y caldero de cobre. This Bodegón is made with a technique in which the incidence of light becomes very evident, creating great luminous contrasts and reproducing their reflections on objects based on white brush strokes. But here too we find ourselves in front of an orderly composition that does not take away from the representation naturalism. Chardin transmits to us the values of simplicity and austerity, at the same time that he makes us see the beauty inherent in simple things.
