Desserts by a Dutch master

Desserts by a Dutch master

These dreamy, pastel visions of blancmange, chocolate cake and jelly are by Arnout van Albada who paints still life pictures in egg tempura and oil paint. Closer, perhaps, to the tradition of his countrymen, the Dutch masters who led the world in still life painting over the centuries, are his other works, featuring classical subjects such parma ham and huge bulbs of frothing fennel.
