Creating the Illusion of surface and texture

These artists created the illusion of surface and texture by using extreme highlights and shaddows in all of the objects. In the painting, Banquet with Mince pie, by Willem Claesz Heda, The fabric looks so real and lively like a photograph because of the way he uses shadows and highlights in texture. It shows the shadows everywhere the shaddows would actually be in real life. In the Still Life With Peaches and a Silver Goblet, Jean Simeon Chardin, the peaches look fuzzy and multicolored, just like they are in person, because of the way the artist uses texture. Same with the highlights on the grapes. they are all hitting the grapes like they came from the same light.
