Information
oil on canvas
83 x 54 cm
The painting is accompanied by a letter by Professor Eduard A. Safarik, dated January 19 2008 (a copy is available). The scholar attributes the work to "Benedetto Sartori", the name reported on the letter of the Trompe-l'oeil with rosary and hourglass and attributable to an artist active in the eighteenth century, between Lombardy (Cremona) and the Veneto, or to a patron, perhaps a prelate close to the painter himself (see E. A. Safarik, La natura morta nel Veneto , in La natura morta in Italia , vol. II, edited by F. Porzio, Milan 1989, pp. 376-377, figs. 447-448). In fact, the grained wooden walls present in this painting and in the Trompe-l'oeil with rosary are similar. The scholar reports other useful comparisons to support the attribution of the work to Sartori, including a pair of canvases sold on the antiques market by Ader Tajan, Paris, Hotel Druot, 26 June 1992, depicting the same composition of the hunting game almost suspended on the wooden wall.
