Figs in Art

Hi everyone,

who can recognise all fig varieties in this painting by Bartolomeo Bimbi (painted in 1696)? I believe the names of the varieties are written on the list on the table. I cannot read them because the .jpg is too small. Probably I have to go to Florence to check them out...

Very nice!

Figs turn up in a lot of still life paintings, but I can't recall ever seeing this many depicted.

Nice!
I tried to find a larger version to read the list but couldn't .
Instead, I found this link:
