Painting
Luis Egidio Meléndez (1716–1780) was a Spanish painter. Though he received little acclaim during his lifetime and died in poverty, Meléndez is recognized as one of the greatest Spanish still-life painters of the 18th century. His mastery of composition and light, and ability to convey the volume and texture of individual objects enabled him to transform the most mundane of kitchen fare into powerful images.
