The quietness, the balance, the suspension in time and space as well as the subtle color modulation and the meditative repetition are some of the key elements of Giorgio Morandi's timeless still lives, also present in the reproduction of this painting from 1948.
The absolute order of his well-studied and repeated compositions suggests the absence of sound creating what Castor Seibel described as the visual phenomenon of the light of silence. In their appearance, all the objects constantly represented by Morandi hide a more profound reality, as stated by Italian art historian and critic Roberto Longhi. Everyday objects like bottles, vases or lamps become the means to study the immutability that, in Morandi's outcome, doesn't ever coincide with monotony.
