Description: | Signed: yes Description: Françoise Bonvin was drawn to the Realist movement early in his career when he met the novelist and critic Champfleury and the artist Gustave Courbet. Bonvin avoided using his imagination for inspiration, preferring to work from what he could see in the world around him. In 1876 Bonvin suffered ill health and was confined to home as is reflected in his choice of subject. In this wintry still-life Bonvin combines everyday objects of apples, chestnuts, a pot, spoon and silver beaker seen against a stark, dark background. The elliptical shapes, delighting in the distorted reflections of the apples in the beaker and in the shiny surface of the copper pot. | Subjects: | everyday life; still life (goblet chestnuts) apples saucepan | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: François Bonvin (French painter and printmaker, 1817-1887) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8803... | Go to resource |
