Coorte - Still Life with Asparagus

Coorte - Still Life with Asparagus
The team wonders; who was Coorte who, in a time of lavishness, spent hours working on his austere still lifes of just a bunch of asparagus, three peaches or a bowl of strawberries? And how is it possible that eight different colors are needed to approximate the white of Coortes asparagus? And why are they so transparent? The search for the answers takes the team to a small church and an asparagus farmer in the Dutch provinces, which leads to a special discovery in a chemical laboratory.
