Annotation
Description <p><strong>Phoebus Focus II</strong></p><p>Things are not always what they seem. Take this <em>Kitchen Still Life with Christ in the House of Mary and Martha</em>, for instance. Were it not for the title, a casual glance might reveal nothing more than a common or garden still life. But look again, more closely this time, and the painting opens up a whole world, as this edition of <em>Phoebus Focus</em> shows. Frans Ykens (1601-1693) was a skilled exponent of the splendid Flemish tradition of kitchen still lifes and market scenes. The genre became hugely popular in Antwerp’s flourishing sixteenth-century heyday and is exemplified in works by the likes of Pieter Aertsen (<em>c.</em>1508-1575) and his pupil and nephew Joachim Beuckelaer (<em>c.</em>1533-1574).</p>
