Fruit and Flowers in a Silver Bowl (1852)

This page presents "Fruit and Flowers in a Silver Bowl" (1852), created by Amalie Kärcher. The catalogue places it in Still Life. The format is portrait. Still Life in brief: Dutch vanitas paintings used objects such as skulls, candles, and wilting flowers to remind viewers that time passes. Later artists, including Cézanne, Matisse, and Picasso, used humble still-life subjects to test ideas about space and form. Context for 1852: Landscape gained new prestige through groups such as the Barbizon painters in France and the Hudson River School in the United States, and by mid-century Realism turned to ordinary people and everyday labour. The invention of lithography around 1796 and its spread in these decades made printed images cheaper and more varied.
