About the Item
Johann Rudolf Feyerabend, called Lelong (1749-1814) – Still Life
Medium: Reverse painting on glass
Dimensions: 16 x 23 cm
Signature: Lower right corner
Provenance: Private collection
This exquisite still life, attributed to Johann Rudolf Feyerabend, known as Lelong (1749-1814), exemplifies the refined technique of reverse painting on glass, a craft that flourished in 18th-century Europe. The composition is a masterful interplay of textures and objects, including a gilded vase with an opulent floral arrangement, an elegantly set table with fine delicacies, and symbolic elements that evoke themes of indulgence, chance, and transience.
The painting’s meticulous details—reflected in the glass bottles, delicate pastries, and scattered dice—demonstrate Lelong’s keen eye for light and shadow, a hallmark of his work. The rich color palette and careful composition suggest influences from Dutch and French still-life traditions, where everyday objects are imbued with deeper meanings.
Lelong, a Swiss artist active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, was known for his exceptional skill in glass painting, a technique that required painting in reverse on the back of the glass surface. His works are highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical significance.
This finely preserved piece, signed in the lower right corner, presents a unique opportunity to acquire a work by an artist whose contributions to the decorative arts remain highly regarded. It is an exceptional find for collectors of 18th-century still-life paintings and glass art.

"Floral still-life painting"
Located in Edinburgh, GB
This elegant floral still-life painting, executed in oil on canvas, showcases a meticulously arranged bouquet of roses, lilacs, and other blossoms in a gilded vase, placed on a reflective surface. The composition exudes a sense of classic beauty, reminiscent of Dutch Golden Age still-life traditions and 19th-century European academic painting.
The rich color palette and detailed rendering of individual petals, leaves, and the metallic sheen of the vase highlight the artist’s mastery of light and texture. The soft, atmospheric background enhances the contrast between the delicate flowers and their surroundings, drawing attention to the vibrancy of the composition.

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...
