Harmen LoedingStill Life, 17th Century Oil on Panel Painting
About the Item
Oil on panel, monogrammed mid left
Image size: 15 x 12 1/4 inches (38 x 31 cm)
Dutch ripple style frame
Loeding was born in Leiden in around 1637 and was admitted into the Leiden Guild of St Luke in 1664. Like other Dutch cities, Leiden required membership in the guilds in order to sell wares falling under the various specifications. There is no record of his artistic training or influences, but he likely belonged to the circle of artists including Pieter de Ring and Gerrit Dou, who founded and maintained the Guild. Loeding is last registered as a member in 1673.
One of the most versatile genres that emerged from Dutch 17th Century artistic specialisms is that of 'pronkstilleven'; a laden table with a variety of rich textures, like ornate glassware, gilded goblets, exquisite nautilus cups, silver dishes, exclusive Chinese porcelains and costly fruits and other delicacies. Harmen Loeding was one of the virtuoso painters of these ensembles, who followed the famous 'pronk' still lifes of Jan Davidsz de Heem.
In this very beautiful still life Loeding presents a table partially covered with a brown cloth edged with silver fringes, upon which cascade translucent red cherries, apples, grapes and intertwined vines. In the centre stands a large glass of wine, known as a 'Roemer', which has the window of the room reflected on its edge. There is a spy glass seemingly discarded on the table. Powerful lighting is used to to create an atmosphere, entering from the left and casting a subtle play of light on the textures of the fruits.
Loeding has gone to great lengths to demonstrate his mastery in rendering a rich diversity of materials and textures, as well as his ability to capture reflected light in a variety of objects. He often used a vertical format and pyramidical structure of tightly packed objects in his still lifes, as is the case here. Fruits are some of the most ubiquitous subjects in still-life paintings over the centuries. Not only does a selection of fruit offer the artist a variety of colours and textures to utilise, they also offered a variety of symbols - grapes symbolising the themes of pleasure and lust associated with Bacchus, the Roman god of wine.
The inclusion of precious metals in still-life paintings certainly showcased an artist's skill at accurately depicting reflective textures. However, in this vanitas painting the golden plate, balancing precariously off of the table ledge, also evokes the tension that lies between materialism and morality. Glass was also pricey during this period, which made its symbolism all the more delicious to buyers: a half empty glass was a great stand-in for the brittle ephemerality of lived existence.

This still life is a meticulous study by the artist of a selection of plants and flowers that could be found in any English hedgerow or roadside verge. Here Newcombe has depicted wild grasses, flowering nettles and dandelions in various states in their life cycle; pre-bud, full flower and having lost all of the fluffy seeds. The detail in this work is fine and reminiscent of the accuracy that was executed in 17th century Dutch artworks...

By Emily Persson
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
"Three Lemons and the Last Supermoon" is a contemporary oil painting by Australian painter Emily Persson. An interior featuring a black wall, a potted orchid, white blossoms, yellow lemons on a white tabletop, and a window showing the blue night sky and a full moon.
Framed in a modern natural wood floating frame.
Emily Persson is a Melbourne based artist who has been creating oil paintings with a palette knife for three years. Emily is a multi-generational artist with roots in Brisbane, Australia.
Although an avid hobbyist painter her whole life, Emily found her style and her new career in 2016 when she began painting landscape, seascape and floral still-life paintings inspired by her surrounds in Queensland. Emily decided in late 2017 that she would give away a successful corporate office job and pursue her life long dream of becoming a full time artist. She relocated to South Yarra in Melbourne and immediately began exhibiting across Australia at galleries such as the Moree Gallery and Satch & Co. Emily participated in many group exhibitions and fundraisers in 2018 including multiple shows in Melbourne, New South Wales and Queensland.
Emily has gained most of her notoriety from her popularity on Instagram where she has close to twelve thousand followers. Emily’s art has trended worldwide on social media and she has become a pioneer and mentor for other artists trying to find their online groove.
Emily has drawn the eye of some of Australia’s most sought after interior designers including Thomas Hamel...
