Still Life with Chinoiserie Vase
A novel genre of painting emerged with the dawn of the Northern Renaissance. Before this time, objects in compositions existed as part of an iconographical agenda that injected disguised symbolism into figural art. This soon after evolved into the representation of these objects purely for their own sake, offering more artistic liberties in the composition of design elements and showcasing the capability of the artist in portraying form, color and textural quality.
A masterful execution in the art of still life painting, this stunning oil on canvas depicts a brilliant floral bouquet in a chinoiserie vase, juxtaposed with a cluster of grapes, fine tea cup and remarkably detailed oranges. The work of an astute and learned artist, the objects come alive in the picture plane, with adroit handling of light and shade creating a strong three-dimensionality and minute details yielding outstanding clarity and realism.
Includes its original frame and canvas stretchers, with artist’s inscriptions.
Dated July 24, 1929.
