Natura Morta Accidentale 

Here we have Filippo De Pisis’s painting, featuring a bottle, an apple, and a whimsical spiral, all set against a warm orange background. These objects, seemingly mundane, carry echoes of deeper cultural meanings. Take the apple, for instance. It's more than just a fruit; it’s a symbol laden with associations. From the Garden of Eden to classical myths of temptation, the apple has long represented knowledge, desire, and sometimes, discord. The spiral, too, is a potent symbol. Across cultures, it represents growth, evolution, and the cyclical nature of time. Think of the ancient labyrinth or the nautilus shell, each a microcosm of the universe, echoing in the coils of the spiral. The placement of these symbols invites us to reflect on the transient nature of existence. Just as the still life captures a fleeting moment, the symbols within point to the continuous, non-linear progression of meaning, resurfacing and evolving across different historical contexts.
