Highlights

The Silver Goblet

Jean-Baptiste Siméon Chardin
Circa 1730
Grabbing a bite

Come into Chardin's kitchen! As the title of the painting suggests, it looks like the artist is about to have lunch. We see before us, as if we could reach out and touch them, a loaf of bread, a little ham in a pewter dish, and a bottle of wine. This work displays Chardin's full genius, his ability to take everyday objects and kindle a sense of wonder.
