Picasso, 1901
From the Picasso Museum: Picasso used contrasting textures, shaping the jug, vase and fruit bowls with vibrant impastos and turning to subtle nuances of colour for the glass and the dish of oysters. By duplicating the angle of vision of the fruit bowl and the table surface he managed to achieve a sense of depth without a vanishing point. The thick outline of the objects recalls those in works by Gauguin and Van Gogh that Picasso had also had the chance to admire on his first visit to Paris.

Le Déjeuner d'Huîtres

Jean François de Troy

1735
From Wikipedia: The painting depicts an aristocratic meal scene in a richly decorated room. It represents an oyster lunch accompanied by champagne. Four figures look up at a popping champagne cork against the backdrop of the marble column. The painting is a documentary element for the knowledge of tableware in the 18th century: coolers, porcelain, salt shakers. The table in the center of the room is round, to avoid Etiquette usage. The chairs are caned, the dishes are silver. The bottles of champagne, more stocky than nowadays, are placed on the table. The glasses are placed in small porcelain coolers from China or Japan. In front of the table, a sideboard is used to keep bottles cool in ice and to store plates.
