Description


Severin Roesen is a painter known for his abundant fruit and flower still lifes and is today recognized as one of the major American still-life painters of the mid-nineteenth century. Over three hundred still life paintings by Roesen have been recorded, of which only about two dozen are dated.

While Roesen's paintings reveal a meticulous attention to detail in their precise arrangements and close brushwork, his subject matter, even down to specific motifs, did not change throughout his career. Sometimes he made near copies of paintings, but usually he merely rearranged and reassembled stock elements.

Numerous items in Fruit and Wine Glass, for example, also appear in other paintings. The footed dessert plate full of strawberries is a common motif. The pilsner glass, sometimes accompanied by an open bottle of champagne, is interchangeable with a wine goblet filled with lemonade used elsewhere. The glass is nearly always placed at the lower left edge of the painting; a halved lemon often appears nearby.


The reproduction "Still Life of Flowers and Fruit with a River Landscape in the Distance" is a high-quality eco-ink print on an Italian canvas. The canvas is folded over the back to the size of 30x40, and above this size is stretched on a subframe. Reproduction is arranged with a luxury frame.
