''Still Life with Lemons, Oranges and a Rose'' is an oil-on-canvas painting by Baroque Spanish artist Francisco de Zurbarán completed in 1633. It is currently displayed at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California as part of its permanent collection. It holds the distinction of being the only still life that was signed and dated by the artist and is considered a masterwork of the genre.〔(Sharing Reflections of Tycoon Taste and Wealth ), ''New York Times,'' Feb. 26, 2009〕〔(Still Life with Lemons, Oranges and a Rose ), "Norton Simon Museum, 2012" 〕 ==Composition and Analysis== The painting shows three groups of objects (a saucer of four citrons, a basket of oranges, and a saucer holding both a cup of water and a rose) resting on a table against a dark background. Each group of objects are placed equidistant from one another and form a spatial and geometrical balance due to their pyramidal organization. As described by Andreas Prater:〔(Masterpieces of Western Art: A history of art in 900 individual studies ), page 264〕 '' Norman Bryson writes:〔(Looking at the Overlooked: Four Essays on Still Life Painting ), Page 88〕 '' Many of Zurbaran's works contained Christian themes, and the objects in the painting are often interpreted as having symbolic meaning as alluding to the Holy Trinity or as an homage to the Virgin Mary.
