DiaporamaStill Life with a Broken Glass, Willem Claesz Heda, 1642
The fairly simple still life of a broken glass, a rummer, a tazza lying on its side and the corner of a wooden table has the same monochrome tonality and structure seen in similar still lifes from the 1630s, but there appears to be less cohesion between the objects. The tazza with the engraved lobes, the foot of which is reflected in the pewter dish, is found in earlier Heda still lifes dated 1631 and 1634.2 Jan Piet Filedt Kok, 2007 See Bibliography and Rijksmuseum painting catalogues See Key to abbreviations and Acknowledgements This entry was published in J.
