Description
Circle of Johann Wilhelm Preyer (Rheydt 1803 - Düsseldorf 1889), Still Life 19th century oil on canvas 66x61 cm, within frame This exquisite canvas depicts a still life attributable to the circle of Johann Wilhelm Preyer, a German painter active in the 19th century. Multiple details emerge in the work that refer to the theme of vanitas and denote the artist's refined culture, such as the wine-filled crystal glasses of Flemish citation and the peeled fruit, painted with great compositional skill, symbolizing the theme of the inexorable passage of time. The color tones used tend toward a monochromaticism capable of sublimating the ensemble of objects depicted in a harmonious manner.
