Check out Campi's the Fruit Seller. There is a dark green pumpkin-like
squash with orange flesh that is probably related to acorn squash or might
be one of the "Japanese pumpkins." A detailed examination of that part of
the painting shows a stem that appears to be deeply grooved, indicative of
a New World cucurbit. The painting is about 1595, give or take a few years.
