Description: | Signed: yes Description: Vollon was one of the most successful painters of his generation. He was particularly famous for the still-lifes he painted throughout his career - for official patrons, and for private collectors. As demand for his work was great, Vollon regularly worked on several paintings at the same time. Vollon's interest in the still-lifes of the Dutch 17th century masters is clearly seen here. He selects fruit like melons and pumpkins, enjoying the strong notes of colour they could bring to his compositions. He delights too in portraying the tactile quality of the different fruits, the metal plate and the fine glass. The spontaneity of Vollon's technique is seen here in his juicy handling of thick paint. | Subjects: | still life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Vollon, Antoine (French painter, printmaker, 1833-1900) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8303... | Go to resource |
