AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Title: Still Life of Fruit and Rose
School: European (19th century)
Author: Attributed to John Fleming (1792–1845)
Style: Realist – 19th-century still life
Technique: Oil on panel
Circle and artistic influence:
The work is part of the European tradition of 19th-century still life, linked to naturalist and realist painting of still life. The isolated arrangement of elements on a neutral surface, the treatment of chiaroscuro, and the attention to different textures recall the long-standing influence of the Flemish, Dutch, and British still-life schools, reinterpreted with a specifically nineteenth-century sensibility.
About the author:
John Fleming (1792–1845) was an artist active during the first half of the 19th century. The present work is offered as attributed to John Fleming, so the authorship should be understood as an attribution and not as a definitive certification. The composition and its pictorial language are compatible with the European still-life tradition developed during this period.
Description of the work:
Horizontal composition in which a white rose in bloom constitutes one of the main visual focal points. The flower is accompanied by its green leaves and another light-colored flower arranged in the foreground. To the right is a fruit still life consisting of a mature-looking apple and a pear, whose yellows, ochers, greens and reddish tones harmonize with the dominant earthy palette.
The composition stands out for its intimate character and for the use of soft lighting that emerges over a dark and atmospheric background. The artist pays special attention to the material qualities of each element: the delicacy of the petals, the irregular surface of the fruit, and the volume of the pear. The palette, dominated by ochres, earth tones and deep greens, gives the scene a distinctly antique appearance.
In the lower right corner, the inscription or signature “J. Fleming” is visible, accompanied by “78”.
Description of the frame:
The work is presented with an old carved wooden frame, finished in dark tones with traces of gold. It features perimeter relief decoration and different stepped moldings. There are losses, chafes, small flakings, and signs of wear typical of its age, which add character to the whole.
Notes:
As this is a work from before the 20th century, it shows restorations, in addition to signs of age and wear compatible with the passage of time. The frame shows finish losses and visible flaws. The condition should be assessed taking into account the supplied photographs.
Exceptionally, shipping costs may be affected by a surcharge for reasons such as being outside a continental territory, excessive dimensions, or weight of the item. In no case will PremiArt cover this surcharge.
The courier that must pass through the Swiss border can experience much longer delays than usual, so, if possible to speed up the process, we will provide the customs number that is holding the shipment so that the customer can unlock it and reach its destination. Experience has shown us that this is the most effective solution for both parties.
The work may incur damage during transport even if properly packed. In that case, we will require photographs of the damage to proceed with compensation. Customer satisfaction is always our priority.
Dimensions: 27 × 37.1 cm with frame.
Dimensions without frame: 20 × 30.5 cm.
Due to the high volume of shipments, orders may be delayed by more than three days, for which we apologize and thank you for your patience. Any questions about your order please contact us via internal messaging.
