I have a couple of comments to chip in for consideration. I think this painting is a terrific still life allegorical nod to the modernism of Cezanne and the colour of Zorn. Vollon had to be careful to maintain his reputation within the Salon but he was clearly offering riposte to previous critique by Manet.
Enjoyed your analysis of the painting. Very informative.
I finding your take on this kind of art history is good I’m not sure how to learn about these folks on my own please do some more thanks
Thank you very much, Kelli! Really enjoyable. ❤
Love the simplicity of this painting. One of my favorite Still Life paintings is by Vollon - Still Life with a Pen, Jug, Bottle and Eggs on a Table
Never thought about where an object is placed like this, or its size. Very interesting.
And a good analysis of the painting. 👏👏👏
