A rare pair of oil paintings on panel, depicting still life compositions inspired by the Flemish masters of the 17th and 18th centuries, painted in France during the second half of the 19th century, under the Napoleon III (Second Empire) period.
These works pay homage to the Golden Age of Flemish painting, both in terms of chromatic richness and the meticulous rendering of textures and lighting effects. The compositions skillfully combine flowers, fruits, and decorative objects arranged in a harmonious and structured manner. The treatment of materials – the velvety petals, glass transparency, and the gleam of fruit – reflects refined technique and artistic sensibility.
They are presented in their original period frames, finely carved and gilded wood, matching the tones of the artworks. The frames are in excellent condition and significantly enhance their decorative appeal.
Beyond their technical finesse, the uniqueness of this pair lies in its originality and cohesion, designed to be displayed together. Their balanced vertical format also allows for separate placement while preserving visual harmony.
Perfect for classic or eclectic interiors, these paintings add character, depth, and elegance to any space.
