Still Life - Coffee and Potatoes, 1897
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Swiss artist Albert Anker. This close-up view of a kitchen scene from the late nineteenth century transports us to a simpler time. The composition focuses on a medium group of objects that are skillfully arranged on a table. In the foreground, we see an exquisite tea cup and saucer, accompanied by a coffee pot and jug. These delicate items exude elegance and refinement. A knife rests beside them, suggesting the preparation of food or perhaps the act of sharing a meal. The star protagonists of this still life are undoubtedly the potatoes. Their earthy tones contrast beautifully with the vibrant red hues found in other elements of the painting. The play between light and shadow adds depth to each potato, making them appear almost three-dimensional. Anker's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; he masterfully captures textures and surfaces throughout this artwork. From the smooth porcelain surface of the cups to the rough skin of each potato, his technique brings these everyday objects to life. This stunning piece invites viewers into an intimate domestic space where warmth emanates from both tangible objects and intangible memories associated with shared meals. "Still Life: Coffee and Potatoes, 1897" serves as both an homage to traditional kitchenware aesthetics while also providing us with insight into daily life during Switzerland's late nineteenth century period.
