"A Peacock Amid Carnations and Convolvulus Above an Upturned Basket of Pears on a Stone Ledge" is a still life painting by the Italian artist Bartolomeo Castelli, known as Spadino (c. 1650s – after 1708). This Baroque-era artwork is a testament to Spadino's skill in capturing the rich textures and vibrant colors of nature, as well as his ability to imbue his compositions with a sense of opulence and grandeur.

The painting features a sumptuous display of flora and fauna, with a peacock—a symbol of vanity and beauty in art—taking center stage. The bird is depicted amid a lush arrangement of carnations and convolvulus (morning glory), which are set above an upturned basket spilling ripe pears onto a stone ledge. The intricate detail with which Spadino rendered the feathers of the peacock, the delicate petals of the flowers, and the succulent flesh of the fruit showcases his mastery of the still life genre.

Spadino's work is often characterized by a dramatic use of light and shadow, which adds a sense of depth and volume to the composition. The choice of objects, along with their symbolic meanings, reflects the cultural and artistic preoccupations of the time, particularly the fascination with the natural world and the exploration of vanitas themes—reminders of the transience of life and the futility of earthly pleasures.

While the exact date of creation for this particular painting is not known, Spadino's active period in Rome during the late 17th and early 18th centuries suggests that it was likely produced during this time. The painting is an example of the Roman still life tradition, which was influenced by the works of Northern European artists who brought the genre to prominence in Italy.

"A Peacock Amid Carnations and Convolvulus Above an Upturned Basket of Pears on a Stone Ledge" is a significant work within Spadino's oeuvre, encapsulating the artist's technical prowess and his contribution to the development of the still life genre in Italy. The painting not only offers a feast for the eyes but also serves as a rich historical document, reflecting the aesthetic values and artistic achievements of the Baroque period.
