Floral Still Life, Cornelis de Heem, 1670-1690, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Paintings

clear glass vase with pink roses; two lemons--one partially peeled--and a snail on table; trompe l'oeil effect with sealing wax and piece of paper in LLQ at left edge; tiny spider above and to right of snail; dark wood frame Cornelis de Heem belonged to a family of still-life painters. While it is difficult to date his works precisely, this one has been placed late in his career, for his work seems to have grown smaller and increasingly precise. Here he highlights the realism of his illusions by attempting to trick us into believing that a bit of paper has been stuck to the surface of the painting with sealing wax. Size: 14 9/16 × 10 5/8 in. (36.99 × 26.99 cm) (sight) 21 9/16 × 17 5/8 × 2 1/8 in. (54.77 × 44.77 × 5.4 cm) (outer frame) Medium: Oil on copper
