SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Giuseppe Ruoppolo was a Neapolitan still-life painter who died in 1710. A pupil of his uncle Giovanni Battista, he extended Caravaggio's legacy. Still Life of Fruit and Nuts at the Metropolitan Museum, dated around 1660–1669, brings together fresh and dried produce in an evocation of autumn.
His repertoire also includes flowers and animals. A composition documented by the Fondazione Zeri combines roses, tulips, a glass vase, a column and a snail; another gathers fruit, vegetables, baskets and a parrot. These arrangements bring natural produce, objects and living creatures into dialogue. Budapest's Still Life with Fruits and Vegetables, painted in oil on canvas in the 1670s, is attributed to him with reservation, illustrating the difficulties of defining his oeuvre securely.
