Jacques Linard (French, 1597-1645) Still Life with the Four Elements, ca.1640 Newfields

In this painting, fire is symbolized by the brazier, earth by the flowers and fruit, air by the birds in the window, and water by the plate of oysters.

Jacques Linard - Les Cinq Sens et les quatre éléments {The Five Senses and the Four Elements} (c.1627) I shared this work here, a long time ago though, but back then I only had a very poor copy. I’m glad to see that more and more museums are making - and sharing - high-res copies of artworks, for us to study and admire them online, too. Even the Louvre, otherwise notoriously famous for doing this poorly, has joined the ranks. Kudos!

P.S. I still haven’t solved the puzzle of the white dots the artist depicted along the edges of the mirror. Is is an attempt to show the beveled edges of the glass? A fashionable mirror design of the time? Something else?
