Painting Information
van Beyeren, that unruly Dutchman, the painter who never met a fish he didn’t want to immortalize. His "Still Life with Fish" from the Philadelphia Museum of Art is as slippery and messy as a fish market at the crack of dawn. It’s a chaotic, juicy pile of dead sea creatures - mackerel, crabs, and God knows what else - all heaped together with a palpable disregard for tidiness. Van Beyeren doesn’t give us a sanitized, neatly arranged scene, no - this is the smell of brine, the wet slap of fish scales against wood.
Look at the colors, will you? He doesn’t bother with soft pastels or delicate shading. No, this is a palette of browns so deep they verge on black, interrupted only by the dull gleam of fish skin catching some low light. And that raw flesh - the cuts of red that slice through the darkness - are almost violent in their intensity. It’s blood and guts, the stuff of life and death. That’s what van Beyeren does here: he throws it in your face. The crabs, half-hidden in the corner, the pottery looming in the back, it’s all part of the theatre. He sets the stage, but it’s the fish - those poor, twisted fish - that take center stage, their scales glistening like they’re still wet, still a little alive.
But there’s something more here, something quietly profound. Amidst the mess and the chaos, there’s an undeniable realism, almost a reverence. Van Beyeren’s brushwork is loose, his textures rough, but there’s a sincerity to it. He’s not trying to impress us with beauty - he’s showing us the reality, the toil, the grit of everyday life. And he’s doing it in such a way that you can’t look away. It’s almost vulgar in its honesty, but that’s exactly why it works.
