"Basket of Cherries and Flowers c. 1620" is a still life painting by Spanish artist Blas de Ledesma, an early figure in the development of still life painting in Spain. Created around 1620, this work exemplifies the bodegón, a genre of still life that often includes depictions of food and everyday objects. The painting is notable for its meticulous attention to detail and the realistic portrayal of its subject matter, which was characteristic of Ledesma's style.

The painting features a wicker basket brimming with ripe cherries, accompanied by an assortment of flowers, all rendered with a high degree of naturalism. The composition is marked by a stark contrast between the dark background and the vibrant reds of the cherries, a technique that enhances the three-dimensionality of the fruit and the delicate textures of the petals. The interplay of light and shadow is masterfully handled, showcasing Ledesma's skill in capturing the effects of light on different surfaces.

Blas de Ledesma, active in Granada during the early 17th century, was among the pioneers of the Spanish still life tradition, although much of his life and work remain shrouded in mystery. "Basket of Cherries and Flowers" is one of the few attributed works that have been crucial in piecing together his contribution to the genre. The painting not only reflects the aesthetic preferences of the period but also provides insight into the cultural and social context of Spain during the time, where such works were often laden with symbolic meaning.

Today, "Basket of Cherries and Flowers c. 1620" is recognized as an important piece in the oeuvre of Blas de Ledesma and a significant example of early Spanish still life painting. It continues to be studied for its artistic merit and as a representation of the evolution of still life as an independent genre in European art.
