Nicolas de Largillierre, 1680 - Red partridge in a niche - fine art print

General information from Petit Palais - Musée des Beaux-arts de la Ville de Paris (© Copyright - Petit Palais - Musée des Beaux-arts de la Ville de Paris - Petit Palais - Musée des Beaux-arts de la Ville de Paris)

A stone niche provides a framework for the still life traversed by a partridge hanging by a tab. The still life is made up of a basket of grapes, which are put in front of peaches and grapes to the right, an open pomegranate and two small dead birds left.

Largillière borrows from the Flemish and Dutch painting of the seventeenth century, which he is abundantly fed, the reason for the niche as a framework for a still life and that of the partridge hanging by one leg. But he stands out from its models using light to give unity to the disparate elements that make up the still life. This lighting can be used to stage the religious theme of salvation, as some have asserted.
