The Spanish artist de Zuburan is best known for his portraits of saints. Yet this is also a masterpiece due to the symmetrical arrangement of household objects. The painting is tranquil. All senses are stimulated with the exception of hearing. The hard surface provides a nice contrast. The colors are extremely soft and the composition very strict and humble. The lemons symbolize Easter, the orange blossom chastity and the water purity and the pink virginity. Zuburan would have wanted this work to depict the Virgin Mary.
