Information
oil on canvas
cm 142.5 x 112.5
signed and dated lower left: G. Lance / 1863
on the back, handwritten labels with reference to the work and the artist
This painting is an outstanding example of the painting skills of the British George Lance.
A painter as famous for his still lifes as for his miniatures, he has captured the best of both worlds in this canvas: on one side the composition is dominated by the triumph of grapes and other typical fruit of the season between summer and autumn, virtuosicly portrayed. On the left, instead, a precious object is depicted, a sort of profane relic holder, on the base of which and above the part depicting an angel are small panels with still lifes and portraits. The four portraits at the top and the one immediately above the angel are real miniatures applied to the canvas, of which the largest is nothing other than a self-portrait of the artist himself depicted in the act of painting a still life. A proud assertion of his talent in both genres, this small self-portrait thus becomes a painting within a painting, directly linking back to the Flemish tradition whose legacy Lance inherited.
