'''Large Still-Life with Lobster''' is a 1653 painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Abraham Hendrickz van Beyeren. Renowned for his sumptuous still-life compositions, Van Beyeren's work exemplifies the opulent banquet pieces that were popular among wealthy patrons of the period. This particular painting measures 82.5 x 99 cm and is currently held in the collection of the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The painting features an array of objects that signify luxury and abundance, arranged on a table draped with a richly textured tablecloth. Central to the composition is a large lobster, its vivid reds contrasting with the surrounding silverware, glassware, and fruits, which are rendered with meticulous attention to texture and detail. The composition also includes a partly peeled lemon, a hallmark of Dutch still-life painting, symbolizing both the transient nature of life and the sensory pleasures it offers.

Van Beyeren's mastery of light and reflection is evident in the way he captures the gleam of metal and glass, adding a sense of realism and depth to the work. The painting's lavish subject matter and virtuoso execution reflect the tastes and aspirations of the Dutch mercantile class during a period of economic prosperity known as the Dutch Golden Age.

''Large Still-Life with Lobster'' is considered a fine example of Van Beyeren's artistic skill and contributes to our understanding of 17th-century Dutch still-life painting. It showcases the artist's ability to combine elements of both the 'pronk' still life, with its emphasis on luxury items, and the 'vanitas' theme, which serves as a reminder of the ephemerality of such worldly goods. Through this work, Van Beyeren not only celebrates the sensory delights of the material world but also invites reflection on the fleeting nature of wealth and human achievement.
