English: Luis Melendez abandoned the dark, austere interiors of the older Spanish still-life tradition for the open air. Here, a basket of wild strawberries has been placed next to some strawberry plants on a hillside, some of them silhouetted against the blue sky and lively clouds. The surrounding countryside and Melendez’s always accurate representation of berries and plants tell us that this picture was painted during the century of Linnaeus. In Madrid, too, a new feeling for nature was merging in the 18th century. Luis Melendez övergav den äldre spanska stillebentraditionens mörka och sparsmakade interiörer. Istället gick han ut i det fria. Här har en korg med smultron placerats invid några smultronplantor på en sluttning – några av dem avtecknar sig i silhuett mot den blå himlen och de livliga molnen. Den omgivande naturen och det hos Melendez alltid exakta återgivandet av bär och växter vittnar om att målningen tillkommit under Linnés århundrade. Också i Madrid växte en ny naturkänsla fram under 1700-talet.
