André Vancoillie (1914-1975) - Still Life With Tray Of Sardines And Hydrangeas

- Oil on canvas. - Defying the conventions of traditional academic still life, the artist places a plate of fish in contrast with flowers and fruit. Although the painter's decision is unorthodox, sardines lend themselves exceptionally to the definition of "vanitas," as their brief silvery, perfumed reality yields to corruption and decomposition within hours. The execution and brushwork are exact, conveying a sense of sublime volume, color, and form. - Dimensions of the image without frame: 83 x 78 cm / 93 x 88 cm with magnificent frame. - It comes from a private collection of paintings in Paris. - Good general condition. Minimal defects. - Galerie Montbaron encloses a technical sheet prepared by a qualified art historian with all its lots. This sheet is sent in digital format and on request.
