Description: | Signed: yes Description: This painting can be described as a trompe l'oeil, an image which demonstrates the painter's technical skill by deceiving the eye of the beholder. A number of objects are detached from the real world and relocated in an open wooden box. Their apparent lack of relationship is characteristic of quodlibet paintings, where random items are represented as if somebody had just emptied his or her pockets, a drawer or a closet. Their combination might be interpreted as an indirect portrait of the commissioner of the painting, maybe the Reverend Ignatius van Dunnegen, who is mentioned in one of the inscriptions. | Subjects: | still life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Plasschaert, Jacobus (Flemish painter act.1739-d.1765) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8991... | Go to resource |
