Author: Tulita Westfall.Still Life with Shells and a Chip-Wood Box late 1620s Sebastian Stoskopff French A French speaking Lutheran from Strasbourg, Stoskopff worked intermittently in Paris from 1622 to 1641. This spare painting combines a chip-wood box containing dried fruit and fish, a commonplace object in Stoskopffs time, with exotic shells harvested from the Indian and Pacific oceans. The surface of the polished nautilus shell may subtly symbolize vanity, but Stoskopffs achievement is primarily a formal one: against a magnificently empty background, the curves and imagined cavities of the objects link the natural and man-made worlds..
