EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Banquet Piece with Lobsters, Fish and Cat" transports viewers to a lavish feast in the 17th or 18th century. Created by the talented artist Robert Robinson, this mezzotint with burn work showcases his mastery of detail and composition. The scene is filled with an abundance of sumptuous elements that tantalize the senses. A grand lobster takes center stage, its vibrant red shell contrasting against the muted tones of surrounding fruits and fish. The meticulous rendering captures every intricate texture and form, making it almost tempting to reach out and touch these delicacies. Amidst this opulent display lies an unexpected surprise - a mischievous cat playfully eyeing the banquet before him. Its presence adds a whimsical touch to an otherwise formal setting, reminding us that even in moments of indulgence, there is room for lightheartedness. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art as part of their esteemed collection, this print has been preserved through time thanks to the generosity of Paul Mellon Fund. It serves as a testament to both Robinson's artistic skill and our enduring fascination with still life compositions. As we admire this masterpiece from www. bridgemanart. com's Fine Art Finder collection, let us be transported back in time to witness not only a visual feast but also contemplate how art can capture fleeting moments forever frozen in time.
