Still Life - Brass Bowl by William Merritt Chase

Bring mystery and sumptuousness into your home with “Still Life - Brass Bowl”, a masterful creation by the American painter William Merritt Chase. In a chiaroscuro worthy of the greatest classic masters, an immense highly polished brass bowl catches a powerful burst of golden light, which in turn illuminates a delicate small bouquet of white and red carnations placed in a silver vase. On the left, a brightly red lacquered box, topped with an Asian figurine, tears through the gloom, testifying to the artist’s passion for Oriental art. The contrast between the absolute black of the background and the metallic brilliance of the objects gives the canvas a dramatic and captivating atmosphere. A sophisticated painting, perfect for magnifying a living room with deep tones.
