"Wild Strawberries in a Glazed Earthenware Bowl with a Façon de Venise of Red Wine, a Pink Rose and Cherries on a Partially Draped Wooden Ledge" is a still life painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Jan Jansz. van de Velde III. Created in 1656, during a period known for its rich development of still life as a genre, this work exemplifies the meticulous attention to detail and the symbolic depth characteristic of van de Velde's oeuvre.

The painting features an arrangement of objects that were commonly found in 17th-century Dutch still lifes, each chosen for both their aesthetic qualities and their potential allegorical meanings. At the center of the composition, wild strawberries are depicted within a glazed earthenware bowl, their vivid reds contrasting with the subtle hues of the bowl. Accompanying the strawberries is a façon de Venise glass of red wine, a type of glassware that imitated the luxurious Venetian style and was popular among the Dutch elite. A pink rose, often associated with love and the fleeting nature of life, and ripe cherries, symbols of the transient pleasures of the senses, add further layers of meaning to the painting.

The objects are carefully placed on a wooden ledge, partially draped with a cloth, which was a common device used to enhance the three-dimensionality of the composition and to showcase the artist's skill in rendering different textures and materials. The interplay of light and shadow, as well as the precise rendering of reflective surfaces, demonstrates van de Velde's mastery of the still life genre and his ability to capture the beauty of everyday objects.

Jan Jansz. van de Velde III, born in Haarlem in 1620 and active in Enkhuizen, was part of a family of artists and is particularly noted for his contribution to the development of the pronkstilleven, or sumptuous still life. His works are celebrated for their elegance and for the artist's ability to infuse them with both a sense of abundance and a contemplative quality, reflecting the cultural and philosophical preoccupations of his time.

"Wild Strawberries in a Glazed Earthenware Bowl with a Façon de Venise of Red Wine, a Pink Rose and Cherries on a Partially Draped Wooden Ledge" remains a significant example of Jan Jansz. van de Velde's artistry and of the still life genre in Dutch Golden Age painting. It continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and its rich emblematic content.
