"Two parrots, grapes, peaches, figs, a melon and a pineapple in a wooded landscape" is a still life painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Herman van der Myn (1684–1741). This artwork exemplifies the rich tradition of still life painting that flourished in the Netherlands during the 17th and early 18th centuries, a genre that often contained symbolic and moralistic messages beyond their depiction of everyday objects.

In this painting, van der Myn showcases his skill in rendering textures and colors through the detailed depiction of various fruits and exotic birds. The composition features two vibrantly colored parrots, which were considered exotic and prestigious pets during the period, symbolizing wealth and curiosity for the natural world. The assortment of fruits, including grapes, peaches, figs, a melon, and a pineapple, are arranged in a lush wooded landscape, adding a sense of depth and naturalism to the scene. The inclusion of a pineapple, a fruit that was rare and highly prized in Europe at the time, further emphasizes the themes of luxury and opulence.

The artwork is notable for its vivid color palette and the interplay of light and shadow, which highlights the artist's attention to detail and his ability to capture the varied textures of the fruits' skins and the feathers of the parrots. The painting not only serves as a display of the artist's technical prowess but also reflects the cultural and economic context of the Dutch Republic, where global trade brought new and exotic goods to the European market.

Herman van der Myn was part of a family of artists and is known for his contributions to the still life and portrait genres. His work on "Two parrots, grapes, peaches, figs, a melon and a pineapple in a wooded landscape" continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and as a representation of the era's artistic and cultural interests. The painting remains an important piece within the oeuvre of van der Myn and offers insight into the still life tradition that is an integral part of Dutch art history.
