Description: | Morales's trompe l'oeil still life is meant to deceive the viewer into believing that the objects on the canvas are real, a popular painting style that dates back to Roman times. The objects depicted include a ragged astronomical print pinned to the wall above a framed painting of peasants playing cards. Below, three books are propped up on a wooden shelf, two of which are open, revealing biblical texts, including the Song of Songs from the Old Testament. | Subjects: | still life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Morales, Juan Francesco (Spanish painter, active 17th century) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8565... | Go to resource |
