Description: | The two birds on the left hand-side form an unusual detail for this decorative still-life, as they seem to be reminiscences of earlier still life painters, such as Blas de Ledesma (Spain, sixteenth century) or Paolo Porpora (Naples, seventeenth century). It is traditionally attributed to Monnoyer, but experts diverge from this attribution, thinking it is indeed eighteenth-century French (but not by Monnoyer), or that it may be Italian, because of the bird detail, which is not a feature of the French school. Other attributions place this painting as belonging to the Flemish or English school. | Subjects: | still life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: British School Æ attributed to attributed Dutch School Attributed to Italian School Previously attributed to Monnoyer, Jean-Baptiste (French painter, 1636-1699, active in Paris and London) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8972... | Go to resource |
