Re: PESO - Wedding Feast
That's interesting and nicely done. A bit too busy for me, but that's not your fault. It would have been nice if you'd included the edge of the table, showing some of the food and perhaps a knife or something breaking the edge. Still lifes of this purpose were used not only to show off the patron's wealth and good taste, but also to make a moral, allegorical point about the transitory nature of wealth, power and earthly pleasure. To do this the painter often showed something balancing precariously on the edge of the table, about to fall.

Re: PESO - Wedding Feast
Two real masters of still life who are worth getting to know, if you don't know them already, are Jean-Baptiste-Simeon Chardin, and Lubin Baugin. The latter features in a really, really beautiful film called Tous les Matins du monde (All the mornings in the the world). As if one wasn't enough, the film stars two Depardieus unfortunately, but in this case the film easily outweighs Depardieu père and I recommend it highly. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tous_les_Matins_du_Monde B On 21 Dec 2014, at 17:48, Don Guthrie shark50...@gmail.com wrote: Interesting information, Bill.

Re: PESO - Wedding Feast
Thanks, Igor - I think the portrayal is intended to be more documentary than artistic, but they certainly did a nice job of it. The guide said that most of the food was real, though she noted that the cake was not. The door to the room was open and I would guess the temperature was a little below freezing, so maybe that helped preserve some things. Obviously, the beer is fake!

Re: PESO - Wedding Feast
Thanks, Bob. I looked at the other shots and nothing is hanging over the edge, so I guess the arranger was not not making a moral statement. This particular framing is in part the result of trying to avoid harsh shadows on the wall behind and in par the result of the relatively narrow angle of view of the FA50mm f1.7.
