Les Apprets Du Repas Maigre, translated as "Preparations for a Meager Meal," is a notable still life painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Joris Van Son. Van Son, who lived from 1623 to 1667, was a prominent figure in the Antwerp school of painting, known for his intricate and detailed still lifes that often carried symbolic meanings. This particular work exemplifies his mastery in depicting everyday objects with a sense of realism and subtlety.

The painting captures a modest assortment of food items meticulously arranged on a table, reflecting the theme of simplicity and frugality. Van Son's use of light and shadow brings a lifelike quality to the objects, highlighting their textures and forms. The composition typically includes bread, fish, and a variety of vegetables, all rendered with exquisite attention to detail. The artist's skillful use of color and texture not only showcases his technical prowess but also imbues the scene with a sense of quiet dignity.

Van Son's still lifes often contained moralistic or allegorical messages, and Les Apprets Du Repas Maigre is no exception. The sparse meal may symbolize humility and the virtues of a simple life, contrasting with the more opulent banquet scenes popular in the same period. This thematic choice reflects the broader cultural and religious context of 17th-century Flanders, where there was a strong emphasis on piety and modesty.

The painting is also a testament to Van Son's ability to elevate the mundane to the level of fine art, inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty in everyday life. His work has been celebrated for its contribution to the genre of still life painting, influencing subsequent generations of artists. Les Apprets Du Repas Maigre remains a significant piece within Van Son's oeuvre, admired for its technical excellence and its evocative portrayal of simplicity.
