"Still Life with Lemon, Oysters, Lobster and Fruit" is a 1658 painting by Flemish Baroque artist Joris van Son. This work exemplifies the sumptuous and detailed still life compositions that were popular in the 17th century, particularly in the Netherlands and Flanders. Van Son was known for his skill in depicting a variety of textures and surfaces, from the translucence of glass and the sheen of pewter to the delicate flesh of fruit and the iridescence of seashells.

The painting is a celebration of both the natural world and the material wealth that was becoming more prevalent during the Dutch Golden Age. It features an array of items that would have been considered luxurious at the time, including a lemon with its peel artistically spiraled, oysters, a sizeable lobster, and an assortment of ripe fruit. These are arranged on a table, with each object carefully placed to showcase its individual qualities and to contribute to the overall balance of the composition.

Van Son's work is characterized by a meticulous attention to detail and a rich palette, which is evident in this painting. The play of light and shadow is masterfully handled, highlighting the textures and forms of the objects and creating a sense of depth. The painting not only serves as a display of Van Son's technical prowess but also acts as a memento mori, a reminder of the transience of life and the futility of earthly pleasures. The inclusion of items such as the lemon and oysters, which spoil quickly, alongside the enduring pewter and glassware, underscores the theme of impermanence.

"Still Life with Lemon, Oysters, Lobster and Fruit" is a quintessential example of Joris van Son's contribution to the genre of still life painting. It reflects both the artistic trends of the period and the cultural context in which it was created, offering insight into the values and preoccupations of 17th-century Flemish society. The painting is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities and as an artifact of its time, and it continues to be studied and appreciated for its historical significance and artistic merit.
