Still life with pomegranates, pears, figs, grapes, and flowers in a vase
Oil on canvas, 99.1 x 145.4 cm, by Bartolomeo Bimbi (1648–1730)
Location unknown

Bimbi, presents an elaborate array of fruits and flowers, marked by close botanical attention and measured compositional order. Drawing on Baroque tendencies, it sets natural abundance against a subdued background to heighten tonal contrast and structural clarity. More than decoration, the painting operates as a catalogue shaped by the Medici court’s drive to observe, collect, and classify.
