Still Life with Asparagus, c. 1880. Creator: Philippe Rousseau (French, 1816-1887)
Still Life with Asparagus, c. 1880. Rousseau was profoundly influenced by the atmospheric still lifes of Jean Simeon Chardin (1699-1779), whom the artist and other French painters like Francois Bonvin (1817-1877) rediscovered in the mid-1800s. A comparison with Chardins work, also shown in this gallery, indicates that Rousseau similarly depicted foodstuffs on a simple kitchen table, concentrating on rich textures and restrained colours

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Philippe Rousseau's "Still Life with Asparagus" from around 1880. Inspired by the atmospheric still lifes of Jean Simeon Chardin, Rousseau masterfully captures the essence of simplicity and elegance in this piece. The influence of Chardin is evident as both artists depict foodstuffs on a humble kitchen table, focusing on rich textures and muted colors. Rousseau's attention to detail is remarkable, as every stroke of his brush brings life to each element in the composition. The vibrant green asparagus stands out against the neutral background, inviting viewers to appreciate its natural beauty. With delicate precision, he portrays the intricate texture and form of each individual stalk. The overall ambiance exudes a sense of tranquility and serenity that transports us back to a bygone era. It is through Rousseau's skillful execution that we can almost smell the earthy aroma emanating from these freshly picked vegetables. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are reminded not only of Rousseau's artistic prowess but also his ability to pay homage to those who came before him. This print serves as a testament to his deep appreciation for Chardin's work while showcasing his own unique style. Displayed proudly at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this exquisite painting continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide with its timeless beauty and enduring legacy.
