Talks | Still Life with Cheeses, Almonds and Pretzels – Famous Paintings and their Hidden Histories with Clara Peeters at Triskel Arts Centre

Event Details

In each Famous Paintings and their Hidden Histories lecture, Artist and art teacher Áine Andrews will focus on a particular painting to recount its history. 

Week 3: Still Life with Cheeses, Almonds and Pretzels, Clara Peeters, 1615.

This painting captures the different ages of the cheeses and reflections in glass and metal. A minute self-portrait of the painter is reflected in the lid of a jug behind the cheeses.

We know little about the life of Peeters, but there are some forty known paintings by this extraordinary skilled artist who had such great influence on the painters of the Northern Netherlands.
