Sweets depicted in famous paintings.

The TriStar company uses innovative technologies and computer graphics to design and create interesting wrappers for our sweets. But the talents of artists and their mastery of the brush are many times superior to modern technologies.

Still life with a basket of sweets. Still life, despite its name and gloomy references to the inevitability of death, is a life-affirming genre. Each object depicted in such a picture carries a hidden meaning that the artist wanted to convey to us through the canvas. The famous Spanish painter and master of still life Juan van der Amen y Leon was born in 1596 in Madrid. The rise of the artist takes place on September 10, 1619, when in the royal palace of El Pardo they notice the talent of a young guy and buy his still life. The artist painted in various genres such as: still lifes, paintings of religious and historical content, allegories, portraits, landscapes. Throughout his career, Van der Amen painted about 92 works of art.

One of his famous paintings is "Still Life with a Basket of Sweets" painted in oil in the 17th century in the Baroque style. The canvas depicts a basket filled to the top with pastries and pretzels, which in the language of still life means a rich and happy life, in front of the basket are silver cutlery and jugs that mean wealth, but which will not remain with you after death.
Juan van der Amen died on March 28, 1631 in his native city of Madrid. 

It may seem that still life is a negative genre of art, but this work personifies the feelings and thoughts of the artist and his mood in a given period of time.
