Description from the seller
Oil painting on canvas "Still Life with Flowers" Paul Foret (1856-1934), France
Signed by the artist
Total weight 1 kg
Dimensions: 81 x 54 cm
Good condition
Belongs to the realist and academic style of the late 19th century, characterized by precision in textures and the classical study of light.
Its still lifes focus on faithfully depicting everyday objects, fruits, flowers, game pieces or tableware.
Characteristics of the style: Detail and precision: The textures of the foods (such as peaches, grapes or strawberries) and of the containers (ceramic, metal or glass) are painted with a strong sense of observation and visual fidelity.
Traditional composition: The elements are arranged in an orderly manner on tables or shelves (entablatures), inheriting the tradition of the old European masters but with a cleaner execution typical of its era. Contrasted lighting: It uses plays of light and shadow to give volume and realism to the objects against backgrounds that are generally sober or neutral.
