About the Cover
On the Cover: Dried fruits have concentrated pigments and other antioxidants which are biologically available upon consumption. See the paper by Vinson et al. (pp. 44-50). Still Life with Vase, Jug, and Platter of Dried Fruit (1619) by Clara Peeters (1594 - after 1657), a Flemish painter. The earliest paintings by Peeters date from when she was 14 years old and a large number of still-lifes were produced while she was a teenager. The last dated work by her is from 1657 but there is no record of her after that time.
