Entourage of Margherita Caffi

Margherita Caffi (Milan, 1648 - Milan, September 20, 1710), is an Italian baroque painter of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, who specialized in painting still lifes, flowers and fruits.
Our painting represents a chiaroscuro in the manner of Caravaggio who sublimated this art.
Magherita Caffi borrowed this style in which she excels, in fact the light emerges from the darkness and floods the bouquet, the flowers as in a trompe l'oeil come out of the painting and give the impression of being able to be taken.
Strange technique and surprising experiment, on this painting, the panel was gilded with gold leaf before being painted.
The only explanation I can think of would be that the gold would give transparency to the painting and make it vibrate, thus offering a more pronounced realism.
