Giuseppe Recco came from a family of painters that specialised in still-lifes. He started painting in the tradition of his father Giacomo and his uncle Giovanni Battista who still cultivated the close-up assemblages of objects, presented on a table. Giuseppe developed his bravura style in still-lifes of fish, later he turned increasingly to the decorative Baroque flower piece.
This monumental still-life, placed in a landscape with rich vegetation, is a late work of the artist.
